This page explains the process for satisfying conditions for all types of major developments.
If your original application was not a major development, you should submit your request as a Post Submission of Additional Documents (PSAD) on the eDevelopment portal. Use the reference number from your original application. When you submit your PSAD application, you must list each condition separately in the Document Schedule.
Services we provide
Planning permission may be granted subject to conditions which make the proposal acceptable. These are set out in the decision notice. There is no limit on the number of conditions that can be applied to any one application.
Conditions can apply before works begin, during the works, or after the works are completed.
While each condition varies, usually pre-commencement and pre-occupation conditions need information to be submitted to the Planning Authority for approval before the development can move to the next stage. This process is known as satisfaction of conditions.
Discharge of conditions can only happen once the development has been completed in line with approved details. Generally, operational conditions cannot be discharged.
