What is Retrospective Planning Permission?
What Is Retrospective Planning Consent?
A Retrospective Planning Application is required to regularise building works that have already begun, or have been completed, without the appropriate consent.
As with all planning applications, a Retrospective planning application consists of architectural planning drawings which demonstrate to the local authority that the development conforms with the relevant planning regulations.
An owner or developer should never rely on a retrospective planning permission application to get an unauthorised development approved. Anyone doing this is taking a considerable risk and may face formal enforcement action.
Drawing and Planning act on behalf of many residential home owners, landlords and investors, who wake one morning to find a letter from their local Council Planning Office requesting they make a retrospective planning application for works which require planning approval.

If you have begun building works that require planning permission and have not applied for the necessary consent, you must apply for Retrospective Planning Permission to regularise the development.
Failure to apply for planning permission could result in enforcement action by your local authority.
Enforcement officers at your local authority will only encourage a home owner or developer to submit a retrospective planning application where they consider that planning permission may be granted for the development.
However, enforcement officers can only advise on this. A Retrospective Planning Application is handled by a planning officers in exactly the same way as a standard application for planning permission. |
