Enforcement of Conditions (PP)

All Conditions must be complied with. If you wish to seek to amend a Condition you should apply to do so under s.73 of the Act, explaining why you consider it is no longer necessary, or possible, to comply with a particular condition.

Variations to Approved Drawings
Planning permission is hereby granted for the development as shown on the approved drawings.

Any proposals for these particular works must be first approved by the Council as part of a listed building consent before they are installed within the listed building.
