Reserved Matters
In some instances the Council will require further details to be
submitted for approval following the granting of outline planning
permission. Reserved matters applications must normally be
submitted within three years of the date of the outline permission,
otherwise permission will lapse. Once approved development must
normally start either within 3 years of the date of outline
permission or within 2 years of the date of reserved matters
approval. Reserved matters are defined in as matters relating
to :-
- Layout
- Scale
- Appearance
- Access
- Landscaping
Where on one development, application for reserved matters is
made in several stages by the same applicant, each stage attracts
the formal fee until the total fees paid in the successive
submissions equals the sum that would have been paid had
application for approval of all reserved matters been made in one
submission.
Thereafter applications attract a flat fee of £335.
