Projects accumulate permissions: CLU or licence, building plan, revisions, fire, environment, power, water, height, estate permissions. Each comes with conditions and dates. Most late problems come from a condition nobody tracked.
The register
Keep one row per permission: - Issuing authority and reference number - Date issued and validity - Conditions (each as its own line) - Who is responsible for each condition - Evidence of compliance - Next action and date
Habits that help
- Add a row the day an application is filed, marked applied — not an approval.
- Copy conditions verbatim from the document; summarise beside them.
- Review the register at every design revision and before occupation.
