54 The Avenue, Tottenham, London, N17 6TD

Refused Haringey HGY/2023/0841 Lawful development: Proposed use

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

Certificate of Lawfulness for proposed change of use from a C3(a) single family dwelling to C3(c) for use by a religious community (allows for groups of people (up to six) living together as a single household. This allows for those groupings that do not fall within the C4 HMO definition, but which fell within the previous C3 use class, to be provided for i.e. a small religious community may fall into this section as could a homeowner who is living with a lodger).

About lawful development applications

A lawful development certificate is a legal determination that existing or proposed works do not need planning permission; the merits of the scheme are not considered. More in our guide to planning application types.
