Prior Approval work covers developments allowed without full planning permission but requiring the planning authority to assess specific issues first. In England, a solicitor in this area helps clients navigate the prior approval regime under the General Permitted Development Order, draft and submit information, and respond to consultations. They review the proposed development against the criteria set by the planning authority, assemble supporting reports, negotiate conditions, and, if needed, handle appeals or determinations. They liaise with local authorities, consultees, and sometimes the Secretary of State.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor explains the provisions and conditions that must be met to obtain prior approval, what information must be provided, and the consequences if approval is refused or granted with conditions. They identify non-compliant elements, help gather environmental, highways or design evidence, and ensure deadlines and procedural requirements are met within the permitted development framework.
