Nutrient Neutrality

Please be aware that this does affect all parts of the planning application process (Full, Outline, Reserved Matters, Variations (s.73) whereby additional overnight stays or units are created and pre-commencement Discharge of Condition Applications). Therefore, you are advised not to start work on any planning permission prior to all the necessary permissions being in place, including discharging any conditions. Works commenced unlawfully which result in significant environmental effects (which the guidance says are inevitable if development is within or drains into the Catchment(s)) will result in appropriate enforcement action.

Further information regarding Prior Approval applications and enforcement can be found on our Permitted Development and Prior Approvals webpage.
