Charges for more than one condition to discharge
You won't have to pay a fee for each condition. A fee is only charged for each request.
If you apply to discharge all the conditions at once, you will only be charged one fee.
If you send in details for each condition separately, these will be counted as separate applications. You will have to pay separate fees.
Exceptions to the charges
The following condition applications are free:
- Requests relating to advertisement consents
- Requests relating to listed building consent
- Requests relating to tree preservation orders
What happens if I do not discharge my conditions?
Without formal approval, it may lead to formal enforcement action by the Council. This could affect the future sales of the property.
Some conditions must be approved before commencement of development.
Proposed samples of materials
Please do not submit proposed samples of materials. Photographs, brochures or detailed product specifications should provide enough detail for assessment. If samples are required, your case officer will arrange an appointment to view.
