So worst case scenario we'd need to be building by September 2013, or go back and get an extension. Although I feel we need to be doing something by the end of next year.
Planning Permission for supermarket development on Wheldon Road, should be going in in the next couple of months, at a cost of around 300K from what I've heard today! So if it's costing that much I would assume that Opus are confident of getting it passed!'"
On reserved matters applications it is only 2 years not 3! You get 3 years form outline and full permission, but because you have had to get outline before reserved matters, which means you could have had outline for almost three years before submitting, it is reduced to 2!
However, once you 'start' work then there is no limit on planning and completing the work. So, what usually happens is work 'starts' because the term 'starts' is quite loose and laying a few drains and putting in some manholes, is a popular way of 'starting' without actually starting!!!
You can also pay to renew a planning application before it expires, meaning you pay the fee again, but get another 2 years!
Don't worry about it!
