The Planning Decision.
Grant of planning permission If full planning permission is granted, you will normally have to start work within 3 years. The Council can set a longer or shorter time limit if appropriate, and will explain reasons on the decision notice. If the development is not started within this time limit, it will be necessary to re-apply for permission before the end of the time limit. If the application sought outline planning permission then a condition will specify the matters reserved for approval at a later date and state the time period within which the application for these matters is to be made.
As well as a condition relating to the period of time during which the permission shall be implemented the decision notice may also contain other conditions which should be complied with. Some conditions attached to a planning permission may require application for their discharge prior to work on site commencing e.g. you may be asked to submit details of materials.
