(UK) application for (outline) planning permission Explanation: Rings 'plan parcial' (outline planning application) bells in Spanish. Coincidentally, UK Town and Country Planning legislation had been part of my first brief and legal instruction, all of half a century ago, but I bow to any answerer with longer 'hands-on' experience. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2019-07-31 08:56:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On Barbara's discussion entry, the *wide-area* version might be a (US) zoning permit application and (UK) and, if sought by a UK Local Authority, rather than a builder or construction co.: 'an application for a Local Development Planning approval'.
