Lawful Development Certificates

A Lawful Development Certificate is a formal decision from the Council confirming that existing or proposed building works, uses or changes to a property are lawful in planning terms. It is often used to show that full planning permission is not needed, or that existing works are protected from enforcement action.

At JL Planning, we can review your property and proposal, advise whether this route is suitable, prepare the evidence, and submit the application on your behalf.
