Change the Planning Type on an Active Planning Application

While it's better to always make sure the correct type has been selected before accepting a planning application, it's possible to change the planning type on an active planning application.

What Won't Change in the Planning Application

Please keep in mind that when the planning type is changed after an application has been accepted (and a planning number has been assigned), there are a few things about the planning application that will not be changed:

• The inspection list will not change. You can manually update the inspection list (Read more: How to add or remove inspections)
• The recommended fees will not change to match the new planning type. However, you can still assess any fee in your list of fees. 🙂

How to Change the Planning Type
