Genehmigungsantrag

English translation: building permit application / application for a construction permit

German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Building an underground tunnel
German term or phrase: Genehmigungsantrag
This appears numerous times in the document, which is looking at the timeframes of building the tunnel and whether the target times can be met, e.g.

Im Genehmigunsantrag ist der Zeitplan...

and

...die Hauptarbeiten, die Teil der Genehmigungsantrags sind...

I think it's something like 'approval application' or maybe 'the request for approval' but I'm not sure as there isn't anything being approved and just wondered if anyone had any idea what it might be or had come across it in a similar document...

Thanks

(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.

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'. I've applied for individual planning permission, but - never having worked for an L.A. - the latter.

Example sentence(s):
  • Planning Portal - Application Type Guidance V1 England . Application for outline planning permission with some matters reserved . Town and Country Planning Act 1990

  -> Danke and thanks! Alas, we do not have a target-country vernacular to go on. UK assumed, though, as the asker is in the UK.
