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 prior approval applications

How this application type works

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.

    British Telecom First Avenue Watford Hertfordshire WD25 9PS

    Creation of secure storage compound to the rear of the Garston Telephone exchange site. The compound will include 3Nr 6m storage containers that will house equipment and materials in support of the local telecoms infrastructure network, such as excavations tools, ducting, fibre cable and man hole covers. The perimeter fence will be a heras galvanized metal fence with weighted plastic footings to the perimeter of the storage area. In addition a temporary welfare unit will be placed on site. This is set on existing hardstanding area next to the building. The Government has set a target to connect a minimum of 85% of premises to gigabit-capable coverage by 2027. The solution of setting up small depots is both sustainable and effective in meeting the needs of the roll out.
