What happens at appeal

This application is at appeal, which passes the decision from Redbridge to the planning inspectorate, and the outcome will replace the council's decision. More in our guide to what happens after a planning decision.

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.
