Hi,
I am wondering if anyone could give me some advice regarding the application for a Lawful Development Certificate (Existing)
My family house has part of the ground floor converted into a self-contained studio apartment with separate entrance. This was done by mother in the 70's. No structural work was carried out just two doors blocked off so my mum didn't know she needed planning permission. The council came round and have told me I need to submit a Lawful Development Certificate. A solicitor was submitting the application for me but long story they let me down and I am now doing the application myself. I have collected quite a lot of evidence that the flat has been there for years but am struggling with the on-line form.
To this questions:
Description of Use, Operation or Activity
*Which category describes the existing use or operation or development for which the certificate is sought:
An existing use
An existing operation
An existing use, operation or activity in breach of a condition
In this case it would be existing operation. Is that right?
Also to this question:
Residential Information
*Does the application for a certificate relate to a residential use where the number of residential units has changed?
No
Yes
If Yes, please provide details:
Is this yes or no?
Thanks a lot for any help!!!!
The council has totally stressed me out on this
