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.

Change of use from six bedroom HMO to eight bedroom HMO with internal and external alterations including extending the existing front lightwell and two new windows to both sides and stairs and new door to the rear - NON MATERIAL AMENDMENT TO 21/01316/FU - 1. In order to provide new bedroom accommodation with improved light and ambiance, the existing living room which is at the front of the house with a large bay window will be a new en-suite bedroom, as opposed to converting the basement rear room for this purpose. 2. The ground level at the front of the house will be lowered slightly so that the front basement bedroom will have increased natural light through the lightwell door and windows. 3. The rear basement room, which is currently being used as a utility space (and has planning approval for conversion to an en-suite bedroom), will have a dividing wall removed to enable inclusion of the hallway as part of the room; the room will be converted to a large communal living area, with easy access to the new basement kitchen and direct access to the rear yard through the rear lightwell. 4. Additional utility room will be created on the ground floor, which will also serve as inside bike storage; 5. A small utility room will be created in the basement
