Outline planning permission is a type of planning permission that allows you to get approval for the general principle of a development, without having to submit detailed plans. This can be useful if you are unsure about the exact details of your development, or if you want to get an idea of whether your plans are likely to be approved before you invest too much time and money into them.
To apply for outline planning permission, you will need to submit a planning application to your local planning authority. The application will need to include a description of your proposed development, as well as plans and drawings that show the general layout of the development. You will also need to pay a fee.
