If your permit application is denied, you have the option to apply for a 'determination' from the Secretary of State if you believe your plans comply with the regulations despite the rejection. Alternatively, you may request a 'relaxation' or 'dispensation' if you think the rejection is overly strict. Here’s a quick overview of your options:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Seek Determination | Request a legal determination from the Secretary of State before starting work on your plans. |
| Request Relaxation/Dispensation | Apply for a relaxation of the requirements at any stage, ideally before starting work. |
It's advisable to act quickly and consult with the council if you have any questions about these processes. You can find further details and the application process on their website.
