Ask The Architect - What To Do When My Planning Approval Runs Out?

Following on from yesterday's post, I was asked: ''What To Do When My Planning Approval Runs Out?''

In essence any Planning Approval should last for 3 years from the date of approval. I have been told in confidence that so long as the site has started ie drainage and foundations the Council will honour the Approval indefinitely however if no works have been started on site then you will need to re-apply for Planning Permission.

Oh, and don't expect that you will necessarily get a renewed planning approval for something too easily. It may well be the case that planning policy has changed from your original application and as such the new policies may restrict development or infact rule it out.
