Implementation

A determination to grant planning approval does not have effect -

• if an appeal is submitted until the appeal is determined or withdrawn; or
• if no appeal is submitted, but there are potential appellants in addition to the applicant, until the time within which an appeal may be submitted has expired ( 21 days from the date of this notice).

Development must be carried out in accordance with the approved plans and any attached conditions (irrespective of any changes that may separately be requested at the Building Control stage or by any other Statutory Authority). This approval does not remove the need to also comply with any other relevant legislation. Any conditions requiring certain works, submissions etc. prior to commencement of development must be fulfilled prior to work starting on site. Failure to adhere to this approval and meet the requirements of all conditions may invalidate this approval or result in formal enforcement action.
