Technical details consent - Planning validation requirements

Back to validation homepage

Description 

Permission in principle is an alternative way of obtaining planning permission for housing-led development. It separates the consideration of matters of principle for the proposed development from the technical detail of the development.  

Permission in principle consent has 2 stages 

• the first stage (or permission in principle stage) establishes whether a site is suitable in principle 
• the second stage (‘technical details consent’) is when the detailed development proposals are assessed. 

You can apply for technical details consent once we have granted your application for permission in principle.
