Improving the use of planning conditions: consultation on draft regulations

Consultation on draft regulations setting out the circumstances when a pre-commencement planning condition can be imposed without the written agreement of the applicant.

Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail

This consultation invites comments on draft regulations which create an exemption to the requirement in the Neighbourhood Planning Act 2017 that local planning authorities obtain the written agreement of an applicant before imposing a pre-commencement condition on a grant of planning permission.

Responses to this consultation will assist in the government’s commitment to improve the use of planning conditions and reduce unnecessary delays in the determination of planning applications.
