Planning Conditions

Planning permission may be granted subject to conditions that must be complied with in order for the development to be lawful.

This will always include a standard time limit, usually specifying the time development must be started by, and a condition requiring the development be implemented in accordance with the approved plans. Additional conditions may be used, some of which may require details to be submitted and agreed in writing prior to a certain phase of development. The number of conditions on a permission can be reduced by submitting full details upfront with the application.

Conditions that are imposed must be necessary, related to planning, related to the development, precise, enforceable and reasonable.

An application process is required to agree these details or to confirm that they have been complied with and the form can be found at the bottom of the page. There is a charge for each request to discharge a condition so all conditions can be dealt with in one go, resulting in a single fee, or they can be discharge individually, with the fee being applied each time. For further information in relation to application fees, please refer to the Fee Regulations page.

There is a limited time period for determine such applications. If the information provided is not acceptable, the application will be refused and a new application will need to be submitted.
