Open the documentsWhat withdrawal means
The applicant withdrew this application before South Cambridgeshire decided it, and is free to submit a revised scheme at any time. More in our guide to what happens after a planning decision.
About prior approval applications
Prior approval applies where permitted development rights already grant the principle of the work, leaving the council only the specific matters the rules name, commonly within 56 days. More in our guide to planning application types.
