 PLANNING CONDITIONS


Planning conditions are applied to the grant of planning permission and limit and control the way in which the planning permission may be implemented. [see Understanding the Approval Notice ]

It is increasingly common for Councils to remove or limit permitted development rights on individual properties through the application of planning conditions, or by way of legal agreements. These will usually be applied as a result of specific circumstances.

You should check the planning history of your property to avoid carrying out development that has been specifically precluded. Ignorance of such limitations is not a defence against enforcement action.
