Statutory register - decision notice: Outline
The Council issues a formal decision notice, which clearly states whether planning permission is granted or refused.
About 85% of applications are approved and many are subject to conditions. All applicants have a right of appeal against a refusal or conditions imposed that they do not agree with. Notes on how to appeal against any decision are included on the decision notice. There is no third party right of appeal. Unless otherwise stated, development can begin at any time within 5 years of the date of the permission, although details set out in the conditions must be agreed beforehand.
Often other approvals are needed before work can start, e.g. covenants on a property or Building Regulations. If these approvals introduce significant changes to a scheme a new planning permission may be needed.
