Commercial Planning Permission: The Complete 2015 Guide

What Happens once you’ve Applied
Once you’ve made your application, your LPA will decide whether or not
to grant you commercial planning permission. They’ll take into account
things like:


The number, size, layout, siting and external appearance of the buildings



Available infrastructure, such as roads and water supply



Any landscaping required in the project



What the development will be used for



Whether your development will affect the surrounding area in terms of traffic etc.

Typically, planning permission applications will be approved or denied within eight weeks, or about
13 weeks for longer, more complicated projects. If the decision takes any longer, you can appeal.
