Certificates of Lawfulness

A Certificate of Lawfulness can be applied for, either to confirm that proposed development does not need planning permission, or to confirm that any existing development that did not have planning permission does not need it. If you are in any doubt as to whether this is the type of application required or wish to discuss your proposals before completing the application forms, please contact us on telephone: 01856 873535 ext 2504 or email Development Management.

Certificate of Lawfulness forms are available from the Related Downloads section of this page.
