Awaiting decision Mid Suffolk DC/26/03875 Lawful Development Certificate Proposed

Works: New dwelling Extension Small domestic

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

Application for a Lawful Development Certificate for a Proposed Use or Development. Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) - We currently have a detached house with a conservatory attached to the back of our house. We have a small kitchen so we are knocking down our conservatory and building a single storey extension slightly wider than the current conservatory and across the back of the house. Our architect has drawn the proposed extension and we have attached to this application. The architect has drawn this extension to qualify for the permitted planning as it?s a 4m wide rear extension on the back of the house. The conservatory will be removed first and the kitchen space will be in this area instead.

As published by the council, reference DC/26/03875

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.
