Translate a Planning Permission Decision Letter

The decision notice from the council reads like it was written to be deliberately unclear, and you can't tell if you've won. Paste the text and this tells you plainly whether it's granted, refused, or granted with conditions, what those conditions mean, and what your next move is. For homeowners and applicants staring at a letter that decides their project.

1. Is permission granted, refused, or granted with conditions?
2. If granted: what conditions have been attached and what do they mean in practice?
3. If refused: what specific reasons were given and are any of them challengeable?
4. What are the time limits for starting work (if approved) or for appealing (if refused)?
5. What should the applicant do next?
