Objecting to Outline Planning Applications
Final Date for Objections: 07-August-08
The three new and one revised planning applications shown on our planning applications page, lodged on 4th July 08 and 27th April 07 respectively, are outline planning applications which means that it is important to identify the issues that you cannot effectively object to at this stage. The reason for this is that five main planning issues (Layout, Scale, Appearance, Access and Landscaping) can be considered at the reserved matters stage. Note however that it is still relevant to object to the other issues such as lack of proper consultation, impact on traffic and air pollution, effects on Lancaster current retail provision, effect on existing city centre, lack of community facilities and demolition of historic buildings, .
The table below summarizes the reserved matters relevant to the current planning applications but you may find it useful to have a look at these two short documents first.
- The Outline and Reserved Matters Fact Sheet which gives a one page description of what the five issues cover
- A Word document - The Outline and Reserved Matters Planning Application Process from the Calcutt Review website. This 2 page flow chart shows the full planning application process alongside it for comparison.
