What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About prior approval applications
How this application type works
Prior approval applications arise where permitted development rights already grant the principle of the work, such as larger home extensions, changes of use to housing or agricultural buildings. The council may only consider the specific matters set out in the rules, for example transport, flooding or appearance, and in many classes the work may proceed if the council does not respond within the deadline, commonly 56 days.

91 Chester Street Aston Birmingham B6 4AE
The proposed development comprises the breaking-up, and removal of part of the existing brick paviour hardstanding located within the curtilage of the established industrial warehouse, to facilitate its continued and improved use in connection with ongoing business operations. The works are limited solely to part of the external hard-surfaced area and do not involve any alterations to the footprint, scale, height, massing, or overall extent of the principal buildings on the site. No changes are proposed to the built form of the warehouse or associated structures, and the development will not result in any increase in floorspace or intensification of built development. The proposal therefore represents a minor operational change within the site boundary, maintaining the existing character and function of the property.
