To move the front wall of the garage 30cm forward, still set behind the front wall of the building, due to unforeseen complexity with the underground drainage and services we are requesting the change to the front wall of the garage extension

What these statistics cover

These figures describe applications collected by PlanningTrack for Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council, across all dates currently available. They are a partial dataset, rather than an authority-wide performance measure. The date range does not establish continuous historical coverage.

The approval percentage is approved records divided by approved plus refused records. Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded. No percentage is shown until there is an approved or refused record.
