Recommendation
As we have already recommended, the Government should review the role of permitted development rights in the planning system. As part of that review, it should consider how to amend the prior approval process to both simplify it and give local authorities the tools they need to shape their communities in line with Local Plans. In addition, the Government should calculate the cost to local authorities of processing prior approval applications and increase the fees accordingly.
