Part 1 – any questions? Coming up: The planning application • How a planning application is decided •

The planning application

The planning application � The types of planning application Outline Outline planning permission allows for a decision on the general • principles of how a site can be developed. Outline planning permission is granted subject to conditions • requiring the subsequent approval of one or more ‘reserved matters’. Reserved matters are those aspects of a proposed • development which an applicant can choose not to submit details of with an outline planning application, (i.e. they can be ‘reserved’ for later determination). Detailed An application for full planning permission results in a decision • on the detailed proposals of how a site can be developed.
