I was speaking to a curator last spring who, if memory serves, claimed they were being pressured to turn around applications in 4 weeks. Is that possible?
Each application from a district comes with a covering letter - "I am anxious to obtain your observations on this application and would appreciate your comments within X working days from the date of this letter If I do not hear from you, I will assume you have no comments to make", or something similar. The standard consultation period we ask for is 21 working days, although some only offer 15. As a matter of interest, the letter I just copied that quote from is only giving me 10 working days. Considering it took three days to reach me from when it was sent, that doesn't give me long as you can see. [xx(]
