Example 1
In most cases, an extension of time agreement will simply need to record the new agreed date and provide an explanation for the applicant of why the statutory time period for determination cannot be met in this instance. This will be suitable for less complex cases where, later on in the consideration of the application, it becomes apparent that more time is needed to allow for small modifications or additional information added to the submission in order to overcome concerns.

Example 2
In some circumstances, particularly where an extension of time is negotiated in the early stages following the submission of a complex planning application, it will be helpful to both the council and the applicant to define the milestones that will mark progress towards getting the application determined. The example draws together some examples of such milestones as an illustration. It is important that wherever possible the party responsible for satisfying the milestone is identified along with a target date by which time the action needs to be completed in order to stay on track to meeting the agreed extension of time date.
