Lapsed Development Consents

If your Development Application is approved, the consent will only be valid for a certain amount of time. Usually this is five years from when you receive approval, but it could be different in some cases.

The date that your consent is valid until will be shown on your Notice of Determination.

If you don't start the approved development before that date, your consent becomes lapsed, or out of date. This means that you may need to submit a new application. Please talk to us for advice if you have a consent that has lapsed.
