✓ Planning permission allows for a wider range of development options and customization, as opposed to the more limited options available under permitted development.
✓ By obtaining planning permission, developers can often increase the value of their property by adding more units or increasing the size of the development.
✓ Developments with planning permission tend to be more attractive to buyers and investors, as they provide greater certainty and security.
✓ Environmental factors: Planning permission considers the environmental impact of a development, including factors such as sustainability and energy efficiency. This can help developers create more environmentally friendly developments that are in line with government targets and regulations
✓ Permitted development generally has a faster approval process than planning permission, as it is subject to a set of predetermined rules and regulations.
✓ As permitted development requires less planning and design work, it can be less expensive than obtaining planning permission.
✓ Permitted development provides greater flexibility for certain types of development, such as conversions of existing buildings, where planning permission may not be necessary.
✓ Greater certainty: Permitted development provides greater certainty for developers, as they can rely on a set of predetermined rules and regulations when planning their development
✓ With permitted development, there is a reduced risk of planning permission being denied or delayed, which can be a significant risk factor for developers relying on planning permission.
✓ Within Greater London, planning applications are dealt with separately by each local borough council.
✓ AGA Associates have developed a wealth of experience in dealing with the planning departments through out the UK.
✓ Local authorities have their own planning policies that must be adhered to when submitting planning applications. By getting to know your local authority, you can gain a better understanding of these policies and ensure that your development meets their requirements.
✓ By working closely with the local authority, developers can improve communication and ensure that their proposals are well-understood. This can help to address any concerns or objections from the local community or other stakeholders.
✓ Pre-application discussions with local planning authorities can provide developers with a better understanding of what is likely to be acceptable in terms of the scale, design and location of their development. This can help to reduce the risk of planning permission being denied or delayed.
✓ Pre-application discussions can help to identify potential issues early on, enabling developers to address them before submitting a planning application. This can help to speed up the planning process overall.
✓ By engaging in pre-application discussions, developers can get feedback from local planning authorities on their proposed designs, helping to ensure that they are appropriate for the local area and meet the needs of the community
✓ By identifying potential issues and making adjustments before submitting a planning application, developers can avoid costly revisions later on in the process
✓ Outline permission provides a clear framework for developers to work within, allowing them to better plan and design their development with greater certainty.
✓ Outline permission can be less expensive than going through the pre- application process, as it requires less time and fewer resources.
✓ Outline permission allows developers to retain greater control over the development process, as they can submit a detailed application for approval once the outline permission has been granted.
✓ With outline permission, developers can submit a detailed planning application with greater certainty that it will be approved, as the broad parameters of the development have already been agreed upon.
✓ By obtaining outline permission, developers can potentially reduce the overall time to completion of their project, as they can proceed with detailed planning and construction once the outline permission has been granted.
✓ If a planning application is refused by the local authority, a planning appeal can provide a second chance for the developer to get their proposal approved.
✓ Planning appeals can be successful, with the Planning Inspectorate often taking a more objective approach to the decision-making process. This means that a planning appeal can provide developers with a better chance of success than going through the local authority.
✓ Successful planning appeals can set a precedent for future developments in the area. This can benefit developers who are looking to carry out similar developments in the future.
✓ Developers can use planning appeals strategically to gain an advantage over the local authority. For example, by submitting a planning appeal, developers can force the local authority to defend their decision, which can expose any weaknesses in their case.
