PLANNING

Pre-commencement conditions, discharged.

Most planning conditions need a discharge application before works start. Miss one and the permission isn't lawful. SAMRISK tracks every consent on the site and chases every pre-commencement condition.

TCPA 1990. Lapsing of permission after 3 years. S106 obligations as compliance items.

The killer feature is the pre-commencement tracker

Every permission has conditions. Some have to be discharged before you start works.

CONSENTS

Every permission, classified

Full / outline / reserved matters / listed building / conservation area / advertisement / lawful use / prior approval / s211 / hazardous substances / demolition / s73 minor amendment. The consent register sits alongside the building.

  • 13 distinct consent types
  • LPA reference + council + decision
  • Auto-computed 3-year lapse date for full planning
  • Lawful use started

CONSENTS

CONDITIONS

Pre-commencement, pre-occupation, in perpetuity, time-limited

Each condition is categorised. Pre-commencement conditions show a hard red banner until discharged. Discharge applications carry their own status (submitted → approved / refused) with the LPA reference.

  • Five categories with distinct UI treatment
  • Discharge application reference + status
  • Approval-with-conditions text captured
  • Hard banner on un-discharged pre-commencement
