Application form to extend the time limits for existing planning permissions
With effect from 1 October 2009 it is possible to allow planning permissions which are about to lapse to be kept alive via a simplified application procedure.
This will cover those planning permissions which are extant both on 1 October and at the date of application, and have not yet commenced. This also covers listed building/conservation area consents which meet the above criteria and are associated with an eligible planning permission which is also being extended.
Outline permissions can also be extended under this power, provided they are extant both on 1 October and at the date of application, and have not yet commenced. An outline permission can also be extended under this power, provided they are extant both on 1 October and at the date of application, and have not yet commenced. An outline permission is extant if either:
- the time limit for submission of reserved matters has not yet expired; or
- reserved matters' applications were all submitted in accordance with the time limit for submission of reserved matters, and the time limit for commencement has not yet expired.
This does not cover listed building/conservation area consents.
Application forms and guidance notes 
can be accessed via Planning Portal.
Fees are:
(a) if the application is a householder application - £50
(b) if the application is an application for major development - £500
(c) in any other case - £170
There is no fee for the element of this application which is in respect of a listed building or conservation area consent.
