Outline Planning Permission
Sometimes it is necessary to put forward the principles of a planning application rather than presenting the scheme in its entirety.
This means that some elements of the application can be considered at a later date. Issues such as access routes, design and appearance may or may not appear in the outline planning applications, depending on their significance.
Outline applications cannot be made for listed buildings as planners need to assess all the effects of the proposed development on building and require a high degree of detail.
If outline planning permission is given, a further application will be necessary which will allow the planners to consider the reserved elements of the application. When this secondary application is approved development can begin.
Although Outline planning is necessary in certain circumstance it is far more efficient and less time consuming to apply for full planning permission from the outset.
Put simply, Outline planning permission states that in principle it is possible to build a house on the land and this status usually lasts for around three years.
