development would have gone through stringent checks against the
local building code before planning permission was granted.

Planning permission or developmental
approval refers to the approval needed for construction
or expansion (including significant renovation), and
sometimes for demolition, in some jurisdictions.  It is [1][2]

usually given in the form of a building

permit (or construction permit).
House building permits, for example, are subject
to Building codes. There is also a "plan check" (PLCK)
to check compliance with plans for the area, if any.  For
[3]

example, one cannot obtain permission to build a

nightclub in an area where it is inappropriate such as a
high-density suburb.  The criteria for planning
[4][5]

permission are a part of urban

planning and construction law, and are usually
managed by town planners employed by local
governments. [6][7]

Failure to obtain a permit can result in fines, penalties,

and demolition of unauthorized construction if it cannot
be made to meet code.
Generally, the new construction must
be inspected during construction and after completion
to ensure compliance with national, regional, and
local building codes.
Since building permits usually precede outlays for
construction, employment, financing and furnishings,
they are often used as a leading indicator for
developments in other areas of the economy.

In specific industries[edit]
Broadcasting[edit]
As part of broadcast law, the term is also used
in broadcasting, where individual radio and television
stations typically must apply for and receive permission
to construct radio towers and radio antennas. This type
of permit is issued by a national broadcasting authority,
but does not imply zoning any other permission that
must be given by local government. The permit itself
also does not necessarily imply permission to operate
the station once constructed. In the U.S., a construction
permit is valid for three years. Afterwards, the station
must receive a full license to operate, which is good for
seven years.  This is provided by a separate broadcast
[8]

license, also called a "license to cover" by the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) in the United
States. Further permission or registration
for towers may be needed from aviation authorities.
In the U.S., construction permits for commercial
stations are now assigned by auction, rather than the
former process of determining who would serve
the community of license best. If the given frequency
allocation is sought by at least one non-commercial
educational (NCE) applicant, or is on an NCE-reserved
TV channel or in the FM reserved band, the
comparative process still takes place, though the FCC
refuses to consider which radio format the applicants
propose.
In Canada, the Canadian Radio-television and
Telecommunications Commission maintains a
comparative process in issuing permits, ensuring that a
variety of programming is available in each area, and
that as many groups as possible have access to free
speech over radio waves.
