Proposal

Application for a Lawful Development Certificate to confirm access road was started within the planning application timeframe. This application relates to planning approval 19/00242/F, for the moving of the access road into the existing development. The reason for the original application was to make the access far safer by moving it to an area with much greater visibility splays. The access road was started in February 2021

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with King’s Lynn and West Norfolk for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

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.
