Lawful Development Certificates
Stansgate Planning has extensive experience and success in the preparation and submission of applications for certificates of lawfulness relating to existing or proposed uses or development.
Lawful Development Certificates can provide a useful tool in establishing an existing lawful use or that a proposed development could be undertaken without needing full planning permission. These can then assist with creating a ‘fallback’ position to strengthen arguments for new development proposals. You may also find you need to obtain a certificate of lawfulness when you are looking to sell a property or have it valued.
We can undertake a thorough review of the available evidence and advise clients on the prospects of success. We are also able to advise on the scope of evidence needed to support certificate applications and how this can be best presented.
