Outline Planning Permission
Use for general application for planning permission to establish that a development is acceptable in principle, subject to subsequent approval of reserved matters. Does not apply to change of use. For example, it could be an outline application for the building of a detached house just to see whether permission would be granted in principle without having to go to the expense of having detailed plans drawn up.

Conditions
Conditions are requirements attached to a planning permission to limit, control or direct the manner in which a development is carried out. Some of them require the applicant to provide further information or details of the materials used for approval before implementing the development. These forms are used to either to remove or vary them or submit the information (Discharge a condition).
There are no local requirements over and above the national requirements listed on these forms.

27. Application for approval of details reserved by condition This form is for applications to "discharge" conditions that were imposed on previous applications. Please note that this form is not mandatory. Please also note that from the 6 April, applications will attract a fee that is not included in the checklist of the current form. |
Extension of Time
This form should be used to make an application for a new planning permission to replace an extant planning permission, where the applicant is seeking to extend the time limit for implementation. It should also be used where an extant listed building consent or conservation area consent is associated with the planning permission, and the applicant wishes to extend the time limit for implementation for that consent also.
It is not possible to use this procedure where the development has already commenced, where the permission or consent has already expired at the time of application, or where the permission/consent was granted after 1 October 2009. In those cases, a new application would have to be made. It is also not possible to use this procedure solely to extend the time limit for submission of reserved matters. Applicants would have to seek a replacement for the outline permission itself, which if successful would create new time limits for the submission of reserved matters and for subsequent implementation.

Non-Material Amendment
Following a grant of planning permission, it may be necessary to make small amendments to the permission, for example changing a finish or moving a door or window. Where these are non-material, this form can be used to apply. Whether or not a proposed amendment is non-material will depend on the circumstances of the case – for example, moving a window could be material if it results in the overlooking of a neighbour, but could be non-material if it does not. If you are uncertain, you may wish to seek pre-application advice.

Application for Listed Building Consent or Conservation Area Consent for Demolition
A listed building is a building of special architectural or historic interest. Listed buildings are graded I, II* or II with grade I being the highest. Listing includes the interior as well as the exterior of the building, and any buildings or permanent structures (e.g. wells) within its curtilage. English Heritage is responsible for designating buildings for listing in England. Anglican churches are not listed but are dealt with under a different regime through ecclesiastical courts.
Consent required for the demolition, in whole or in part of a listed building, or for any works of alteration or extension that would affect the character of the building. It is often the case that changes to a listed building will need both Listed Building Consent and Planning Permission (Full or Householder)
Conservation Areas are areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance. In some boroughs the permitted development rights for houses within conservation areas have been removed and residents need to apply for planning permission for things that would otherwise be permitted development. None of the conservation areas in RBK have these blanket removals of rights. Conservation Area Consent is only required for the demolition or partial demolition of an unlisted building within a conservation area with a volume of more than 115m3.
