Information About

Planning Permission




The concept was introduced in the Town And Country Planning Act 1947 . The planning permission system is adminstered by the Local Planning Authority .

A number of different types of planning permission can be applied for:-

1. Full planning permission

2. Outline Permission

3. Reserved matters (seeking permission for those aspects that were not dealt with in the outline permission)

4. Renewal of full planning permission.

5. Removal or alteration of a Planning Condition

Planning permissions are usually granted for 3 years and typically contain a number of Planning Condition s that need to be complied with (eg. built as per the approved drawings, trees planted as per the landscape scheme and replaced if they die in the first few years. materials should be approved by the Local Authority etc.) Some of these will need to be complied with before any work starts on site others may not. It can be difficult to sell a property that does not have fully discharged planning conditions.

It should be noted that once granted, Planning permissions (with very few exceptions) relate to the ''Land'' and not the person who applied - ''The Applicant''. This is important because it means that land can be sold 'With the benefit of planning permission'.

REFUSAL OF PLANNING PERMISSION

An unsuccessul applicant can appeal against a refusal of planning permission to the Secretary Of State (currently the Office Of The Deputy Prime Minister - ODPM ). The Planning Inspectorate usually acts on the Secretary of State's behalf in determining appeals. See Planning Appeals .


CALL INS

The Deputy Prime Minister can "call in" certain Planning Application s that Local Authorities propose to approve. For example, where it may have wider effects beyond the immediate locality, significant regional or national controversy, or potential conflict with national policy. These will then be subject to a Public Inquiry presided over by a Planning Inspector who will make recommendation to the Deputy Prime Minister who will decide the application instead of the Local Planning Authority .

Once a planning permission (conditional or otherwise) has been obtained it is usual to then apply for Building Regulations Approval
