Indeed, there are several kinds of planning applications, and each one has a particular function in the context of building and urban development initiatives. These are a few typical kinds:

Outline Planning Application: This offers a preliminary picture of a proposed development without offering specific blueprints. It's employed to determine the acceptability of the development principle.
Detailed Planning Application: This comprises thorough blueprints and specifics of the suggested construction, such as landscape, building materials, and architectural styles.
Reserved Matters Application: Developers file reserved issues applications to offer comprehensive designs on specific features including layout, scale, appearance, and landscaping once an outline planning permit is obtained.
Listed Building Consent: Needed for any work that modifies, extends or demolishes a listed building and has an impact on its character.
Change of Use: When a property's intended use changes—for example, from residential to commercial or vice versa—this application is required.
Advertisement Consent: This consent is needed for putting up specific kinds of ads, such as big or lighted signs.
Conservation Area Consent: In addition to obtaining planning approval, this consent is necessary if the proposed development has an impact on a designated conservation area.
Tree Preservation Order (TPO): To guarantee the protection of trees covered by a TPO, any proposed action on those trees needs permission.
Prior Notification: Sometimes, rather than requiring a complete planning application, small developments or modifications may simply need to be notified in advance to the local planning authority.

The planning applications may vary based on the country or region’s rules and regulations.
