Planning Conditions

When a Planning Application for permission for development is granted, it is often 'conditional'.

Conditions that are placed on a permission can be found on the Decision Notice under the decision text and may need to be complied with before development starts, during or nearing completion of development or on an ongoing basis as the development is occupied.

New Regulations relating to Planning Conditions

Under regulations which came into force on 6th April 2008, where it is a condition of a Planning Permission that the written approval of the Local Planning Authority (L.P.A.) is required, a fee is now chargeable by the Council for this service (unless the conditions relate to a Listed Building Consent, whereby the fee does not apply).

The fee for all householder applications (i.e. works of extension, alteration or addition to, or within the grounds of a dwellinghouse) is £25 per request. This means that you could if you wish, request the written approval of more than one condition attached to the same Decision Notice for the single fee of £25.

The fee for all other types of development other than individual householder development is £85 per request.

Under this new process, if the Local Planning Authority has not formally responded in writing to your request to discharge condition(s) within a period of 12 weeks from the receipt of your completed application, you may apply to us for the return of the fee.

There is a form specifically designed to deal with your request (Type 27 - Application for Approval of details reserved by condition) which can be found under the Planning Application - Forms and Advice page . Alternatively, a form is available from Planning Reception at: Elmfield, New Yatt Road, Witney, Oxfordshire, OX28 1PB, or from the Planning Portal at www.planningportal.gov.uk where you could make your application online.

Note:

You should be aware that failure to comply with the conditions placed on your planning permission may invalidate your permission or consent.
