What is a Lawful Development Certificate?
A Lawful Development Certificate is a legal document stating the lawfulness of past, present or future development. If granted by the local planning authority, the certificate means that enforcement action cannot be carried out to the development referred to in the certificate. It is similar in receiving planning permission for a proposal.
I comply with Lawful Development legislation. Why should I apply for a certificate?
A certificate is useful to ensure that the legislation has been interpreted correctly. It is also useful when you come to sell your house.
What is the difference between Planning Permission and Building Regulations?
In simple terms, planning permission is interested in how it looks and the impact on others, whereas building regulations ensure it is well built.
