   Decision issued: Grant full certificate

3. 25 Aug 2026

   Added to PlanIndex

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 three 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.

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.

  We are requesting to change the use from c3 to c2 to open the property to become a residential children's home for 2 children/young people. Internally all we need to do is reconfigure the downstairs slightly to create a ground floor bathroom to improve daily living. There will be no machinery or building works carried out. The home will replicate that of a 'typical' residential family setting.
