What to do when you have received Planning Permission
Once you've obtained planning permission and you want to implement the consent, you should check your decision notice for conditions. Some of these conditions may be what we call pre-commencement, meaning that you have to discharge them before starting any work.
Others may require you to follow certain steps or do certain things during the course of your construction, or they may need to be discharged prior to completing works on site. You must check your decision notice, as any work in breach of a planning condition can result in formal enforcement action.
Before starting the development work, you must serve a Notification of Initiation of Development (NID) to the Council. The form should be completed and returned to us via Email. You must do this before work commences; otherwise, Enforcement action may be taken.
If you are implementing planning permission for a National, a Major or a Local development that has been advertised as a "Bad Neighbour" development, you must also display a Site Notice during the construction work. Again, failure to do so may result in enforcement action against you.
Before you start work, you should ensure you have all the other consents that might be required. These might include the permission of the owner of the land or property, a Building Warrant etc.
When you've finished building works, you must send a Notification of Completion Notice to the Council. In some cases, e.g., where conditions are attached requiring certain matters to be fulfilled on a phased development, failure to serve such a notice is enforceable.
Complete these forms and return via Email to notify us work has started or completed on site:
