   The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development. Extensions of time are common.

This application is with Broxbourne for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

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.

  I am writing to request retrospective permission for a minor alteration to my outbuildings. The two storage sheds are both mine and are joined side by side. One shed door opens directly into my private garden, while the other opens into the communal corridor/alley adjacent to the garden. I have removed the non-structural internal dividing brick wall between the two sheds to create one larger storage space. The exterior footprint remains unchanged, the walls have been cemented, and internal shelving has been added for storage. I would be grateful if a housing officer or surveyor could assess the work and consider it for retrospective approval.
