Mania Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Helloooo...Good evening. Our local authority have confirmed that as a homeowner I can apply to discharge planning conditions. I sent them the completed "Discharge Planning Conditions" form for their review and asked how to submit and I was told that the form is incorrect and "you can make an application on the Planning Portal at www.planningportal.gov.uk where the reports can be uploaded and the fee paid". I have spent the past hour going round in circles on the website and and can't find where to submit. Please can someone help? Our LA is Epping Forest DC. Thank you.

Jilly Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I've just done one and it worked via the planning portal as you've described. Maybe try again tomorrow or call them in case it's not working properly? You can submit paper copies if all else fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJohnG Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I think I had planning conditions to discharge...but albeitni am sure I done the task. Never notified anyone I done them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 13 years ago I had several to discharge. I just wrote a letter to the planning department citing my planning reference no, listing the conditions by number and what had been done about each. That and a cheque for the fee was all I needed to send. They replied confirming all but one had been discharged. Perhaps things have changed since.

I had a look at the planning portal and couldn't see a dedicated link for submitting an application to discharge. All routes seem to lead to either... Start new application or View your applications (requires log in) So I can see @mania 's problem. Which did you go down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilDamo Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 For those who use the PP website day in, day out… it is very simple but can understand for your normal person to feel quite daunted by it. If you need assistance, message me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to “Start a new application” and when faced with the drop down list for the type of application, you need to select “Approval of details reserved by condition”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mania Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Thank you for the tips. We managed to get through the process using this further guidance from the planning team rep: "If you wish to make an electronic application you can only do this on the Planning Portal website at this link https://www.planningportal.co.uk/applications Once you start an application, it will ask a series of questions regarding the type of application you wish to make. For the above you will need to selection on Application Type - Existing consents – Approval of Details reserved by Condition, the system should then allow you to upload the documents".

DevilDamo Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Sounds like the exact same wording of the application type I mentioned ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
