The approved sample panel shall be kept on site for reference until the development is completed. The development shall not be carried out unless in accordance with the approved details. Have these planning conditions been met?" Response The answer to ‘Have these planning conditions been met?’ is No, they have not been met. Conditions have not been met because the Department has not received ‘plans/elevations and/or sections as appropriate’. Nor has it received notification that works have commenced and therefore has not received any other details to satisfy the conditions.
