The term ‘time limit for implementation’ refers to a condition attached to an approval notice that states the development must begin no later than a certain date.
In light of the coronavirus pandemic, the government has made temporary changes to allow some types of development to extend their start date.
If you had planning permission or listed building consent, and your time limit for implementation was set between 19 August 2020 and 31 December 2020, your term will automatically be extended until 1 May 2021. There is no need to contact the council.
If you have listed building consent, and your time limit for implementation was set between 23 March 2020 and 31 December 2020, it will automatically be extended to 1 May 2021.
There is no need to contact the council.
If you had planning permission or listed building consent, and your time limit for implementation ends on or after 1 January 2021, then you will need to submit an entirely new application. This is the only way to extend the deadline to commence development. Your new application will also need to comply with our requirements for submission.
The new application will be considered against current planning policies and any material considerations that have changed since the previous decision. This could result in a different decision being made.
