Permission granted for a Wadhurst 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 Wadhurst 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 Wadhurst 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 Wadhurst 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.
We read every condition on your notice
One fee instead of several separate ones
Properly labelled and referenced
Before you need to break ground
Every Wadhurst enquiry starts with a proper read of the decision notice, working out exactly which conditions genuinely need discharging and which are performance conditions that don’t.
From there, we prepare the supporting details for Wadhurst’s council, grouped into as few applications as the conditions genuinely allow.
Once submitted, we track your Wadhurst application through to a decision, since discharge requests don’t always get the same priority as live planning applications.
Every Wadhurst condition gets checked honestly, pre-commencement or not, rather than assumed based on how it’s worded.
Grouping conditions into as few Wadhurst applications as genuinely possible keeps the overall fee down, since councils charge per request, not per condition.
Whatever stage a Wadhurst project’s genuinely at, decision notice just received or work already underway, we handle it with the seriousness the situation actually calls for.
