So, once all procedures have been completed (application submitted and identity checked):

• Roughly a month after documents confirmed as received by HMPO, British passport received (FYI, I tracked the delivery of documents and Royal Mail confirmed they reached the passport office on a Friday, but HMPO only confirmed them as received on the Tuesday after that).

• 11 days after British passport received, original foreign passport and naturalisation certificate received.
