Council requested an update from SHDC on the following:

Why has this application not yet been determined?

Why has the planning portal not been updated with a new determination date?

When will the application to be determined?

SHDC reply:

Given the scale of the development, it is not uncommon for applications to go beyond an agreed extended determination date. These extensions are required as the legal process for the S106 Agreement must be completed prior to a formal decision being issued.

the application is yet to be determined due to the legal process required to secure the Section 106 agreements. However, once this legal process has concluded, the application can be determined, there is no specific timeframe on this process. To clarify the application is recommended for approval.
