Applying for PP on a site where previously granted but lapsed

Cherrycola

Does anyone know what are the chances of planning permission being granted on a site where permission was previously granted (1999) but never followed through with?

Will it be easier to have it granted again, if the plans are somewhat the same? Or can they do a complete about turn?

Also, im wondering in general what the situation is with getting permission for a self build these days, with so many houses available around the country, is it harder now than it once was?
Will they try and push people to buy in towns rather than build in rural areas?

Thanks

i feel it would be safe to assume that it makes no discereneable difference by the fact that permission had been granted in 1999 (i assume your referring to a rural site). The only guarantee is that requirements and guidelines would have changed to make the initial decision worthless.

since then:
1. the sustainable rural guidelines have been introduced with restricts new rural dwellings to persons who have a need to live in a rural area

2. percolation test guidelines have become much stricter and harder to pass. a new test would have to carried out

3. the county development plan would have been rewritten twice if not 3 times since that permission was granted.

In theory, its has no impact and the new appliaction is assessed on its own merits
