Planning Permission Mean?
Gaining planning permission means getting the approval of local authorities to move ahead with a proposed building or developmental project in the UK.

Safeopedia Explains Planning Permission
Upkeep or maintenance on a building or land is excluded from the definition of development outlined in the planning code. The acts and legislation that make up the planning code provide a basis for conserving our architectural and natural heritage. The code also helps to provide affordable housing and carries through with environmental impact statements to keep our environment safe.
