Outline Planning Permission is an initial form of planning permission in English land law, whereby the applicant gains feedback as regards the scale and nature of a proposed development from the local planning authority.{{cite web |last1=Barrett |first1=Chris |title=Consent types |url=https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200126/applications/60/consent_types/4 |website=www.planningportal.co.uk |publisher=Planning Portal |accessdate=11 May 2020 |language=en}} It enables the applicant to see whether a proposal is likely to be accepted before going to the expense of drawing up a detailed planning application.
Outline Planning Permission was introduced with the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.{{cite web |title=Application Type Guidance |url=https://ecab.planningportal.co.uk/uploads/1app/guidance/guidance_note-outline_application_with_reserved_matters.pdf |website=www.planningportal.co.uk/ |publisher=Planning Portal |accessdate=11 May 2020}} It allows for certain "reserved matters" to be deferred until the submission of one or more Detailed Planning Permission applications, which if successful will yield Full Planning Consent.{{cite web |title=The difference between Outline and Full Planning applications |url=https://www.jjdesign.org.uk/what-we-do/the-difference-between-outline-and-full-planning-applications/ |website=J & J Design |publisher=J&J Design}}
