Whats the difference between outline and full planning permission?
The difference between an outline and a full application is: • An outline application is an application for planning permission to establish that a development is acceptable in principle it does not include specific details relating to the proposed developments. This would be commonly used by developers who wish to sell a piece of land with permission to build a dwelling on it. The specifics of the dwelling can then be decided by the buyers at a latter date. • A full application is an application for planning permission which includes the detailed plans of the proposed development. This would usually include architectural drawings and plans. This is the kind of planning permission which is needed by people who own a piece of land and are intending to build a house they have had professionally designed on it.
