Condition Compliance Applications
When planning permission has been granted there can be some circumstances in which conditions are imposed to the application. These planning conditions are often imposed to enhance the quality of the development and mitigate any adverse effects.
Planning conditions can be used to approve developments that may otherwise have been refused as it enables the local council to allow reasonable development but also tackle specific problems that could arise, an example of planning conditions in this instance are to specify the hours of opening for a commercial development.
Planning conditions are imposed by Local Authorities "as they think fit" and should always be supported by National Planning Policy Framework. Local authority states that conditions are only imposed when they are:
- Necessary
- Relevant to planning
- Relevant to the development that will be permitted
- Enforceable
- Precise
- Reasonable in all other aspects
Conditions are also imposed on certain projects when the local authority may need further information that was not already submitted in the planning application. For example this could be applicable to the materials used in the development if they were not stated in the application, the specification of windows or colour of render would need to be submitted and approved by the council as a form of condition compliance before the windows are fitted or the render applied.
It is often a straightforward process to comply with any conditions imposed and here at Austin John we have experience of taking conditions into account and submitting Condition Compliance Applications on your behalf.
