Awaiting decision Tonbridge and Malling 26/01632/LDP Lawful development

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Lawful Development Certificate Proposed: Creation of a new vehicular access to the existing dwelling, including a new dropped kerb/vehicle crossing across the existing highway verge and the formation of a hard standing driveway within the front garden for off-street parking. The proposed driveway/hard standing will measure approximately 4.0 metres by 6.8 metres

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Tonbridge and Malling for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

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.
