If you require confirmation that a planning condition/s (not including a condition requiring works to commence within a specified timescale) has been complied with you will need to submit a standard Discharge of Conditions form (full title of the relevant form is ‘Application for the Approval of Details Reserved by Condition’) to set out the details of which condition/s you are seeking confirmation of compliance with.
The fee for the application is £45 if the original permission was a Householder application or £145 for all other application types. A request can cover one or more conditions or limitations.
If the Local Planning Authority considers that the condition has not yet been complied with, they will explain what remains to be done and issue confirmation of compliance when satisfied, unless enforcement action or a retrospective planning application would be more appropriate.
Where an applicant makes more than one request for confirmation of compliance in order to amend or revise the details to comply with a condition, a fee has to be paid each time as if it were the first such request.
A request for confirmation of compliance must be determined within 12 weeks.
Please note, if you are seeking confirmation that a material commencement has been made to an application an application for a Certificate of Lawful Development for Existing Use will be required. Details of which can be obtained via the link below:
