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 full applications applications

How this application type works

A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

    4 Coltbridge Gardens Edinburgh EH12 6AQ

    Non Material Variation - Introduction of External Spiral Stair: It is proposed to omit the previously approved internal stair (removed for structural and cost reasons) and introduce an external steel spiral stair providing access to the already approved balcony. The stair is located fully within the footprint of the consented balcony and therefore does not increase the massing, scale, or footprint of the approved development. The stair and balcony balustrade will be finished in black to match the approved window and door frames. External stairs of a similar type and material are already present on neighbouring properties, and the proposal is consistent with the established character of the street.
