Granted Monmouthshire DM/2024/00361 Certificate of ExistLawful Use or Dev

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within five years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

This application for a Certificate of Lawful Development is for an existing historical vehicular access next to Well House where metal gates have been replaced with improved oak gates, and high conifers have been removed to improve visibility. The vehicle access has always existed. This is also supported by more recent photographs of the access. Similar vehicular access can be found in properties close-by such as Grove House.

As published by the council, reference DM/2024/00361

What a grant of permission means

The process from here

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within five years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

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.
