Confirmation of compliance with planning conditions or obligations

After planning permission is granted, there may be conditions or planning obligations that must be met. Applicants often need to submit information to show they’ve met these.

You can check if an applicant has sent information for a specific condition or planning obligation by searching our website. 

Applications will be recorded using the first part of the original planning reference, with a sequential number at the end such as:

Original reference: 1900/0001/01/DET

Follow on applications: 1900/0001/02/DCC, 1900/0001/03/APO etc.

Requesting written confirmation

You can request to confirm in writing if a condition or planning obligation linked to a planning permission has been met.

Requests for confirmation of compliance should be submitted in writing.  You will need to provide the following details:

• the original planning application number
• a plan showing the application site
• details of the conditions/obligations you would like information about
• your contact details

Application fees 

The application fees are as follows:

Please note that the application fee is per request. You can ask for information about more than one condition or obligation in the same request. 

If you are seeking advice on both conditions and obligations, we’ll charge a combined fee.

We will aim to deal with these applications within 8 weeks.  

You should email your application to planning.control@newcastle.gov.uk.

What we can confirm

We can only give advice on conditions or obligations that require details to be sent to the Council for approval.

Our response is given without prejudice. This means it does not affect any ongoing duties linked to the condition or obligation. 

For example, if a developer has sent the required information for a condition, we can confirm that. But we cannot say whether they have complied with ongoing implementation and maintenance of the works approved.
