hi,
well i have a small cottage which started its life as a cabbage packing shed which has been there since approxamatly 1939
anyway the building was renovated and the people living there have been doing so for well over the 4 yrs which is set out as guide lines for it to be a dwelling,
planning and enforcement have wrote to me on more then 1 occasion explaining its now time barred from any enforcement action,and would welcome a certificate of lawfullness if i ever wish to sell it etc etc,
my tennant there has used a shed and a large part of a field as garden and has wrote all the necessary letters saying so and had signed by a jp,

but my question is i cant ever see my self selling it but


and one day i will want to extend it and move in there so will a straight forward planning extension application give me the rights a certificate of lawfullness does???i cant see why i should do both i t will be a large extra cost and could i do what a certificatew does in an application,
atb mark

A planning application seeks a grant of right to develop

A LDC states that what is there is deemed lawfull under planning law, and is normally retrospective

The two are different
 
No, its just a bit of paper for your own comfort or for waving at a nervous buyer
