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 conditions applications

How this application type works

This type of application deals with conditions attached to an existing permission, either by supplying the details a condition requires, called discharging it, or by asking to vary or remove one. It does not reopen the principle of the permission itself. Building often cannot lawfully start, or continue past a set stage, until the named conditions are discharged.

    Variation of Section 106 Agreement (ref no. LEG/RP/PL/S106/RR020/465) associated with planning permission 23/AP/1862, which gave consent for: "Phased mixed-use redevelopment of the site, comprising: - Demolition of all existing buildings/structures, site clearance and excavation; - Construction of buildings to provide residential dwellings (Class C3) and flexible commercial, business and service space (Class E); - Construction of buildings to provide purpose built student accommodation including associated amenity and ancillary space, flexible commercial, business, service and community spaces within Classes E/F2(b) (Sui Generis); and - Provision of associated car and cycle parking, open space and landscaping, means of access and highway alterations, installation of plant and utilities and all other associated ancillary works incidental to the development". This Deed of Variation application seeks changes to the definitions, schedules and appendices (as appropriate) within the Section 106 Agreement in connection with changes formally sought under a concurrent non-material amendment application, the reference number for which is 26/AP/0377. The changes to the Section 106 Agreement sought by the Deed of Varation application would: - reflect all of the changes proposed by 26/AP/0377 to the sizes and layouts of the various buildings, elevations, basements, rooms, dwellings and external facilities across the consented development; - reflect the conversion of 75 dwellings from their consented Shared Ownership tenure to their proposed Social Rent tenure; - insert the GLA's Mortgagee in Possession (MiP) clauses; - omit the requirement to explore opportunities for healthcare providers to occupy the Block C commercial premises, enabling the applicant to instead proceed to exploring opportunities for the premises to be occupied as affordable workspace; and - make other non-material changes to the Section 106 Agreement wording.
