Some friends of ours have lived in a barn they converted into a house, without planning permission, over 10 years ago.
The local authority has now found out, and has demanded that they apply for a certificate of lawful development, submitting evidence of use as a house over the period.
Are they obliged to apply, or can they just provide evidence of use and tell the council to get lost?
