Planning application

Awaiting decision Islington P2025/1371/COL Certificate of Lawfulness (Existing)

Works: New dwelling Several homes

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

The application seeks a lawful development certificate for the existing use of the first and second floors as two self-contained residential flats. The two flats were created through the conversion of the former office space located above the ground floor commercial unit. The conversion included external alterations to form a dedicated residential entrance door, providing independent access to the flats. Google Street View imagery from 2014 shows these alterations in place, confirming that the works and use were established over 10 years ago.

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.
