Permission granted for a Burgess Hill project with conditions attached isn’t the finish line, pre-commencement conditions genuinely need formal discharge before any work starts, and skipping that step puts the whole permission at real risk.
Get StartedA Burgess Hill permission with conditions attached isn’t fully usable until those conditions are addressed, at least the ones requiring action before commencement. Treating a decision notice as the final step is exactly how people end up building unlawfully without realising it.
The statutory target for a decision in Burgess Hill is 8 weeks, though realistically it’s worth planning for longer, discharge applications often sit lower down a council’s priority list than live planning applications.
