This may be a basically obvious question, but the planning dept I'm dealing with, has not made its decision by the expiry date of 8/2/11. This a full planning app for a new dwelling, and my client had a pre-planning discussion which he paid for back in nov 2010. After speaking to the case officer over the phone he said he has a heavy workload on and is trying to meet his deadlines. However, that doesn't help me and he now says he needs another visit to the site, he hasn't flagged up any potential problems and hasn't commented on anything or corresponded to me or my client. My question is how long can they go over the decision date and what is my course of action if any ?
