Permission granted for a Carlton 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 StartedCarlton 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.
The council charges a fee for each discharge request in Carlton, though submitting multiple conditions together in one application usually means paying that fee just once, worth doing wherever the conditions genuinely allow it.
We read every condition on your Carlton decision notice properly, not just the obvious ones, and group what can genuinely be submitted together to avoid paying multiple separate fees.
