The council has decided this application; the published outcome sits in the record above and the decision notice on the council portal carries the detail, including any conditions.

If permission was granted, work must normally begin within three years of the decision. If it was refused, the applicant can appeal within the statutory time limit or submit a revised scheme.

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.
