Common themes in prior approval applications or appeals - Ivy Legal Training

Certain types of development are granted planning permission by the General Permitted Development Order without the need to submit a planning application. Some permitted development rights are conditional on obtaining "prior approval" from the local planning authority.

This short training course looks at the nuts & bolts of a prior approval procedure. By taking a practical approach to prior approval applications and appeals, the training aims to develop an understanding of common issues arising in casework. A practical and engaging session aimed at professional development of development management and enforcement officers.
