What refusal means

The process from here

The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.

Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.

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.

    Non Material Amendment to planning approval 0/50107 (Change of Use from Church D1 into a single dwelling house C3) to allow for the retention of the original church area as the open plan living area - formally this was to be split up to become the bedroom area. The bedrooms are now located near the back garden. Also adding a mezzanine floor in the main area to enhance the living space. The changes effectively amount to a slight change in internal layout - but fundamentally there are no change to the approved permission.
