Can I apply for Retrospective Planning Permission?
A retrospective application can provide an option where work has already been carried out because the planning requirements were misunderstood or overlooked.

A long standing planning myth is that once an area is designated as Green Belt, that it cannot then be developed and whilst there may be more restrictions on what can be done, there are still opportunities for certain sites in the Green Belt.
Planning applications might not be the first thing you relate to schools, but they are strongly linked, particularly with residential development where families with children might be moving into a new area. As part of the planning process developers and applicants are often required to make financial contributions towards various services, infrastructure and facilities.
