2.6 Key Issues
The main issues to be taken into account when assessing this application are:
1. Background on determining extension of time applications
2. Changes to the site and its surroundings
3. Planning applications on or around the site
4. Changes in policy
2.7 Background on Determining Extension of Time Applications
2.7.1 The Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) (Amendment
No.3) (England) Order 2009 (SI 2009 No. 2261) allows applicants to apply for a new
planning permission to replace an existing permission which is in danger of lapsing,
in order to obtain a longer period in which to begin the development. The
procedure is referred to as an extension of time for the implementation of a planning
permission by grant of a new permission for the development authorised by the
original permission.
2.7.2 Except in cases where there is a need to comply with a statutory requirement in
connection with the submission of the application, or a relevant change in policy or
material considerations which post-date the original application, the Order advises
that it does not anticipate that any additional information will be required in most
circumstances to that which was originally considered.
2.7.3 The Local Planning Authority can request further information if they consider that
changes in the surrounding area, which are unrelated to the proposed scheme but
have taken place since the original grant of permission, have affected design or
access considerations that are relevant to the proposed scheme.
2.7.4 The guidance in relation to extension of time applications makes clear that Local
Planning Authorities should take a positive and constructive approach towards
applications which improve the prospect of sustainable development being taken
forward quickly. The development proposed is an application for extension of time
which will have been judged to be acceptable in principle at an earlier date. While
these applications should, be determined in accordance with s.38(6) of the Planning
and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, Local Planning Authorities should, in making
their decisions, focus their attention on development plan policies and other
material considerations which may have changed significantly since the original
grant of permission.
2.7.5 Given that the Local Planning Authority power to impose conditions remains
unchanged, if appropriate, different conditions can be imposed or some conditions
(i.e. discharged preconditions can be removed).
2.7.6 However, the main issue is any significant changes in the development plan or
other relevant material considerations since the permission was granted, and
whether this would lead to a significantly different decision on the application. In
light of this these are considered in further detail below.
