News Archive - October 2009Planning Permissions Extended DEVELOPERS can now extend their existing planning permissions to give them more time to weather the economic downturn. The Government is allowing developers with planning permissions granted up until 30 September 2009 to extend their permissions. The move has been made to boost the industry and to save costs for developers badly hit by the recession. Many developers have put projects on hold over the last year because of difficulties faced in raising the funds. The original proposals by the Government were restricted to ‘major’ applications in which development had not already started, but following successful lobbying by the British Property Federation, ‘minor’ applications are also now extendable from this month. The option of extending a planning permission, without having to re-apply through the usual lengthy and expensive process, will help development and regeneration projects to take place. Although there are still forms to be filled out, they are a much simplified version of the standard application forms and no plans or drawings will have to be provided. Currently, the application fee for the extended permission will be the same as for a new permission, but this is expected to be reduced later in the year. « |
