The practical answer
Do not treat one encouraging document or assurance as the whole start position.
Use it when planning is granted but the decision notice contains conditions, reserved details or approval dependencies. Start-Ready brings the immediate decision back to the evidence that supports it, the matters that remain assumptions and the person who normally needs to respond.
The correct answer depends on the project documents, property arrangements and current professional advice. This guide provides a structured owner-side route, not a project-specific determination.
