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.

The applicant wishes to submit a non-material change application for the previously approved planning permission. The proposed amendment involves reducing the size of the approved rear extension from 30m² to 20m² The revised design maintains the same materials, as the approved scheme, including timber cladding, and the flat roof form remains unchanged. Additionally, less of the existing building will be demolished with this revised scheme. These modifications aim to align the project with the client's current budgetary constraints, following the sharp rise in construction costs since Covid, without altering the overall design intent. We believe these changes are non-material as they do not significantly or negatively affect the development's appearance, scale, or impact on the surrounding area. Please note, this application for a non material change is specifically for No.25 Great Georges Street. The previously approved application (LA07/2023/3121/F) constituted works for both No.23 & 25 Great Georges Street.
