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.

153 Danford Lane Solihull B91 1QQ
Convert existing detached garage/outbuilding within the rear curtilage of the dwelling into a fully insulated ancillary annex for purposes incidental to the main dwellinghouse. The development retains the existing building footprint and includes the replacement of the existing roof with a mansard form pitched at approximately 55 degrees. The proposal introduces a modest rear dormer, front roof light, and a flat roof light at the crown to provide natural daylight and a compliant means of escape from the mezzanine level. Internally, the ground floor will comprise an open plan living and kitchen area, with a mezzanine level providing a bedroom and en suite shower room. The layout is designed to provide adaptable accommodation suitable for family members, including those with mobility needs. The annex will remain ancillary to the main dwelling and will not form a separate planning unit. There is no separate curtilage, all services and utilities are shared with the host dwelling, and there is no independent access from the public highway. Access is provided solely within the residential curtilage for safety and fire compliance.
