  How to use it

  Use this field when a consultee or other body requested that the condition be imposed on the particular decision. Omit it where no separate requesting organisation is known.

  The requesting organisation does not formally impose or discharge the condition. The planning authority issues the original decision and determines a later application to discharge the condition, taking further advice from the requesting body where required.

  For example, where the Environment Agency requested a condition:

  json { "reference": "decision-2026-0123-condition-01", "decision-notice": "decision-2026-0123", "planning-condition": "ENV01", "requested-by": "government-organisation:EA199" }

  How to use it

  Use this field to link a condition to the later decision notice that discharged it.

  The value must be the reference of the corresponding record in the decision-notice dataset. It is not the name or identifier of the authority that discharged the condition.

  In this example, dc-23-01234-FUL-4 records condition 4 on the original permission. It links to the reusable planning condition material-approval-con. The later decision notice 23-04567-DET-dn records the decision that discharged that condition.

  json { "reference": "dc-23-01234-FUL-4", "planning-condition": "material-approval-con", "discharged-by": "23-04567-DET-dn" }

  The decision-notice dataset must contain a record with the reference 23-04567-DET-dn. A user or service can follow that reference to find the discharge decision and its date.

Examples

Condition attached to a decision

This relationship record identifies the decision notice and the planning condition attached to it. Its reference identifies this particular use of the condition and is distinct from both records it links. It records that the Environment Agency requested the condition, while discharged-by links to the later decision notice through which the planning authority discharged it.
