Not necessarily: there are a number of law cases on this issue
that come to different conclusions depending on whether it is
blatant fraud or just an error. The best one is one where the
applicant claimed to be the agent for the owner, got the PP and
bought the land cheaply (the owner not knowing it had PP of
course). The court held that the permission was valid but as he
had held himself out to be agent for the original owner he must
account to them for all the profit he had made!

The fact that you have permission does not, of course, give you
any rights over land that is not yours and does not override any
covenants or other legal obligations that may be relevant.
