Basically, This application is an Outline Application for an agreement in principle to do the desired building works. The meeting at which the agreement was made, was held on 20/06/12.
The decision made at this meeting will be available to the general public, i.e. us, when the involved parties want us to know!
There will be toing and froing and amendments, etc. but once agreed in principle, it means things start moving, investors can move funds about etc. with less fear of it all collapsing into crap
Most Applicants engage in both stages of the Planning Process - Outline Planning Permission (OPP) and Detailed Planning Permission (DPP). The reason this is the case is obvious in that it saves the Applicant the expense of having detailed and expensive plans drawn up in advance of the applicant even being aware whether it is even possible to build on the land. It is possible to go straight to an application for Detailed Planning Permission, but be aware of incurring possibly hefty abortive design costs in doing so.
