A Basildon decision notice covered in conditions is normal, most permissions carry some. What matters is knowing which ones need discharging before you break ground, since starting work too early can mean building unlawfully.
Get StartedBasildon decision notices typically separate conditions into two real categories, ones that need discharging before work starts, and ones that can wait until a later stage. Confusing the two is a genuinely common and costly mistake.
