How long does planning permission approval take?

Question

I’ve read that it can take up to eight weeks for planning permission approval. How long does it actually take on average?

Mark · Accepted Answer

Can take from 6 to 8weeks 
But if it is under permitted development you can usually start the works befor the plans go through

Aaron · Answer

If you include the drawing of plans, related surveys, and application submission, around ten weeks. For a full application.

Permitted development is a different process and depending on the chance of issues with the local authority it is possible to start construction before full approval.
