Planning Application types

The type of application(s) required may depend upon the location of the site as well as any development proposed. If you are unsure about the type(s) of application required we recommend you seek professional advice or email pec@bromsgrove.gov.uk providing as much detail as possible, including the site location.

Full Planning Applications	These include all details of the proposed development, including Layout, Scale, Appearance, Access & Landscaping. Development must normally start within three years of the grant of full permission, otherwise the permission will lapse. Following the introduction of new legislation, which came into force on 10th August 2006, Design and Access Statements must be submitted with all applications for planning permission and listed building consent, except for applications for householder development, change of use and engineering and mining operations. More information on the content of these statements can be found from the Department of Communities and Local Government, and the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment. A change of use of land or buildings is also dealt with as a full application., but does not necessarily require the submission of all such details
Householder Application	This is a smaller version of the full application focusing on domestic/ small scale proposals. Please refer to our residential planning page.
Outline Planning Applications	These are submitted to obtain planning permission in principle for a particular type of development. Outline planning applications are mostly made for larger residential or industrial developments. Certain details, known as Reserved.Matters, can be reserved for subsequent approval. Following the introduction of new legislation, which came into force on 10th August 2006, the Reserved Matters have now changed from ‘Siting, Design, External Appearance, Means of Access & Landscaping’ to ‘Layout, Scale, Appearance, Access & Landscaping’. Outline planning applications will also now need to include more supporting information on Use, Amount of Development, Indicative Layout, Scale Parameters and Indicative Access Points, even if Layout, Scale and Access are reserved. Conditions requiring the submission of precise details are attached to outline planning permissions. These are then submitted in due course as part of a further application for the Approval of Reserved Matters.
Approval of Reserved Matters	These are the further details required by the Council following the grant of outline planning permission. Applications for the Approval of Reserved Matters must normally be made within three years of the grant of outline permission, otherwise the permission will lapse
Discharging Conditions	Application to discharge conditions associated to a previous grant of planning permission. These are usually conditions which impose requirement for the local authority to agree acceptance, prior to commencement of the development i.e agreement on the materials to be used.
Advertising Consent	Application to display advertisements, mainly relating to business premises. Further details and guidance are available on the DCLG website http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/planningandbuilding/outdooradvertisements
Lawful Development Certificate	Where a legally binding determination is required regarding the need for planning permission. There are two types of application, one for an existing use and one for a proposed use.
Change of Use	Applications for change of use form part of a full application.
Listed Building/ Conservation Area Consent	Where the proposal involves a Listed Building or a site located in a Conservation Area then in addition to any other type of application required you will need to make a separate Listed Building/ Conservation Area application which needs approval before works can be carried out.
Prior Approval	Where the applicant is deemed to have prior approval unless the Local Planning Authority determines a full application needs to be submitted. They relate to Agricultural and Forestry buildings & operations or demolition of buildings and Telecommunications Code System operators.
