What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About lawful development applications
How this application type works
A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

FIRST FLOOR SENECA HOUSE, LINKS POINT, AMY JOHNSON WAY, BLACKPOOL, FY4 2FF
Use of some of the first floor office space as ancillary storage of electronic sensors. The premises extend to approximately 696.64 m2 in total. The principal use is office-based where we create 3D Bim models, 2D Cad floor plans and capacity reports, occupying approximately 638.62 m2. A secondary room of approximately 58.02 m2 would be used to store sensors owned and operated by the business in connection with its office activities. No manufacturing, processing, or repair of sensors would take place on the premises. Sensors would be stored awaiting deployment to client sites. Deliveries would be infrequent and isolated to specific projects. Around 180 sensors would be stored. There would typically be 2/3 projects a year and 4-5 deliveries would typically take place by a courier over a 3 month period for each project. In between projects we expect to hold very little stock. No heavy goods vehicles would attend the site. No machinery would be installed. The premises operate between 9 - 5 pm Monday to Friday, with no out-of-hours activity. The storage would be entirely ancillary and subordinate to the primary office use, constituting 8.33% of the total floor area. The business would not operate the storage independently of the office function.
