For cases with fixed application deadlines, the recommended case processing time commences upon expiry of the application deadline.
The processing times given below indicate the maximum timeframe within which most cases will be processed. In cases where the Danish Environmental Protection Agency is unable to meet the target case processing time, the private individual/company/authority will be informed of this and given an indication of the anticipated date for completion of processing.
All cases will of course be processed as quickly as possible. This means that many cases will be processed before the end of the specified processing time.
The Danish Environmental Protection Agency’s various types of administrative cases are not comparable. Consequently, the target times for processing vary from one type of case to another.
