(a) they may grant planning permission, either conditionally, or subject to such conditions as they think fit; or
(b) they may refuse planning permission

Decisions types on how council determines applications:

• Approve with Conditions
• Approve subject to Legal Agreement
• Refuse

Section 70 (2) of the 1990 TCP Act provides that the local planning authority, in dealing with an application for planning permission:
“shall have regard to the provisions of the development plan so far as material to the application, and to any other material considerations”.
