Working with Permit Conditions of Approval

Conditions of approval are restrictive requirements and terms that are applied to project applications such as permits and planning applications. Regulatory agencies enforce such conditions at various stages of the development life cycle to ensure project compliance with the regional laws.

Managing conditions of approval consists of applying conditions through transactions, reviewing, and resolving them based on the compliance criteria defined at specific stages of the project development time line.
