Applying for a Lawful development certificate
What is a lawful development certificate?
Is a document that officially confirms that a particular use of land or building, or a proposed development, is lawful and does not need planning permission. It provides a legal assurance that your development complies with planning regulations and protects from any planning enforcement action.
There are two lawful development certificates you can apply for: proposed use or development and existing use or development.
