Works: Windows or glazing

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

This operation is to convert the existing garage into living space. It will be converted into 2 x rooms. Room 1 will be a ground floor utility room. Room 2 will extend the existing dining room. The conversion will take place on the ground floor, the garage is integral and has a bed room and en-suite above it. This will not change the foot print or any dimensions to the house. There will be no change to the access of the house and existing drainage & water supply will only be used. There will be internal work carried out and this will not alter the dimensions of the property. There will be a double window added to the front aspect of the house overlooking the driveway of the property.

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.
