A Prees 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 StartedA Prees 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 Prees 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.
Where Prees work’s already begun in breach of a pre-commencement condition, that’s a different, more urgent situation, and one worth addressing honestly rather than ignoring.
