Royal Borough of Greenwich (19 000 240)

Statement Upheld Planning applications 29-Aug-2019

Summary: The Council failed to consider a telecommunications prior approval application within the prescribed 56 day timescale meaning deemed permission was granted. This failure to consider the application within 56 days and communicate the decision is fault. However, the Council could not refuse the application on the grounds put forward by Mr X and so the outcome would have been the same and permission granted. Mr X has not suffered a significant injustice as a direct result of the fault in this case.
