Planning application

Hammond Lodge Rattlesden Road Drinkstone Bury St Edmunds Suffolk IP30 9TL

Refused Mid Suffolk DC/24/02333 Lawful Development Certificate Proposed

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

Proposal

Application for a Lawful Development Certificate for a Proposed Use or Development Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) - Erection of a new single storey garden room (9.1m wide x 3.2m deep x 2.48m high), to house a home gym and infrared dry sauna. The building will qualify in all respects with the Class E Permitted Dwelling, except that it will be forward of the principal elevation of the house. However, due to its location alongside/behind the garage, it will not be visible from the road or from any other property. The garden room will have electricity and heating, but no running water or any form of living accommodation.

As published by the council, reference DC/24/02333

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.
