Planning application

PL/2023/00581/CLOPUD

40 Valley Road Elmdon Solihull B92 9AD

Granted Solihull Cert. Lawful Dev Proposed

Proposal

Certificate of lawful development for proposed care/support to young people within premises. The care will be given to 1 young person with 2 care/support workers 24/7. As such, the proposed use would be within the same Use Class C3 as specified in the Town and County Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 (as amended) as the authorised lawful use of the property, and a development as proposed would not constitute development within the meaning of Section 55 of the Town and Country Planning At 1990 and therefore a Lawful Development Certificate should be issued if an application is submitted under this procedure.

As published by the council, reference PL/2023/00581/CLOPUD

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 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.

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.
