Extending existing planning permissions


On the 6th September 2012 the Secretary of State announced a one year extension to the temporary provisions (originally introduced in October 2009) which allow applicants to extend the time limits for implementing a planning permission. This one year extension came into force on 1 October 2012.

Applicants with unimplemented extant (live) permissions granted on or before 1 October 2010 (previously the deadline was 1 October 2009) can apply for a replacement permission for the same development, which will then be subject to a new time limit for implementation.

Applications for extensions will be subject to a lower fee, less onerous information and consultation requirements. 

A design and access statement will not be required.

Don't miss the opportunity to extend that hard fought planning permission.
