Planning application

39 Dundas Street Edinburgh EH3 6QQ

Withdrawn City of Edinburgh 15/00617/CLE Certificate of Lawfulness (existing)

Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.

Proposal

The shop is currently a newsagents [class one] which I use to use as a bakery selling cold foods to take-away. However I wish to put in ventilation/extraction at rear of the building and would like confirmation that this is acceptable and no planning permission is required.

As published by the council, reference 15/00617/CLE

What withdrawal means

The process from here

The applicant withdrew this application before the council decided it, so it carries no planning weight and no fee refund is automatic. Withdrawal often follows officer feedback that a refusal was likely.

The applicant is free to submit a revised application at any time, and many withdrawn schemes return in amended form, so the site is worth watching if the proposal affected you.

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.

    The land behind 5 Harrison Road has been in use as my garden since 1984 when I developed it (i.e. from when I purchased the house). It is a fenced-in plot of land similar to all other garden plots in the street. It contains mature plants, trees and lawn. There are no structures (except the fencing) on the land. I understand that the garden appears on the council mapping since that time.
