Applications to apply for the discharge of planning conditions should be made on the relevant application form. There is a fee payable for the discharge of planning conditions. If you have more than one condition that requires discharging, then you can apply to clear more than one within the same application. The fee is payable per application so if you choose to discharge your conditions over multiple applications you will have to pay a fee each time. You should allow plenty of time for your application to discharge conditions to be considered by us. Discharge of conditions applications are usually dealt with within 8 weeks of submission of a valid application. Failure to discharge planning conditions can be serious. If you start work without having discharged any pre-commencement conditions, it may make your planning permission invalid. That’s where the enforcement of planning conditions comes in.
