A quick definition of access:

Access means being able to use, talk to, or get close to something or someone. It's like having permission to do something or go somewhere. For example, if you want to copy a picture or a song, you need access to it first. Access is also used to talk about when a parent who doesn't live with their child gets to visit them. And in real estate, access means being able to go to and from your own property.

A more thorough explanation:

Access means having the right to use, communicate with, or approach something or someone. It can be used in different contexts:

In copyright, access refers to the ability of someone to see or obtain copyrighted material. If someone has access to the material, it can be used to determine if they have copied it without permission. However, access alone is not enough to prove copyright infringement. For example, if someone has never seen the copyrighted material, they can argue that any similarities between their work and the copyrighted work are coincidental.

Example: A songwriter claims that another artist copied their song. The artist argues that they have never heard the song before and did not have access to it.

In family law, access refers to visitation between a child and their non-custodial parent. The custodial parent may have limitations on the non-custodial parent's access, such as supervised visits.

Example: A divorced couple agrees that the non-custodial parent can have access to their child every other weekend.

In real estate, access means having the right to go to and from one's own property.

Example: A homeowner has access to their property through a private road that they share with their neighbors.

Overall, access is about having the right to use or approach something or someone, and it can have different meanings depending on the context.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
