Expiry of persmissions - new provisions

The package outlined in ‘Greater flexibility for planning permissions: Consultation’ consists of:

• extensions to the time limits for implementing existing planning permissions available via a new category of planning application,

• encouragement to use s.73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to pursue minor amendments, and

• a new system to pursue non-material changes.

Consultation on the proposals ends 13 August 2009. Turley Associates is happy to make representations on behalf of clients.

Greater flexibility for planning permissions: Consultation’ sets out the government’s proposals for changes to the planning system to allow the time limits for implementation of extant planning permissions to be extended and proposes a more proportionate approach to minor material amendments to development proposals once permission has been granted
