Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council Permit Scheme

10.1 Cancellation Process

There is no mechanism for suspending or postponing a permit should the activity need to occur at a later date once a permit has already been granted.  In these circumstances a permit will require cancelling and re-applying and permit fees will apply for the new permit.

If an activity promoter wishes to cancel a permit for which it has no further use, or withdraw a permit application that has been submitted, for which a permit has not yet been granted, it should use the cancellation process containing the relevant activity/works reference - see the technical specification.

No fee is payable for cancellations unless the permit has already been granted in which case the fee will be chargeable. See Section 12.5 for circumstances where fee reductions apply.

10.2 Continuing an Activity following cancellation of a Permit

An activity promoter will be committing an offence if it continues an activity when a permit has been cancelled.
