Further-Information Revival(FI)
A stalled application that has just answered a request for further information - a sign the project has momentum again and is heading back toward a decision.
When a planning authority needs more detail, it issues a request for further information (FI), and the decision clock effectively pauses while the applicant responds. Many applications sit in this state for months. When the applicant finally lodges their FI response, the case is 'revived' - it is active again and moving back toward a decision. That transition is a useful early signal that a previously quiet project is about to progress.
A revived application is warming up before it is granted, so it is an early moment to get on the radar of the design and delivery team - ahead of the crowd that only reacts to the grant.
PlanningLeads surfaces these transitions in the Revived feed, flagging leads that have just answered a further-information request and are moving again - at organisation and area level.
