Planning application
Unit 1 Plp Wakefield The Willfred Ossett WF5 9EE
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
The solar PV system was installed by a previous owner approximately five years ago and has remained in continuous use since installation. The current owners are seeking to regularise and clarify the planning position, as the PV installation was not included within the scope of the relevant planning application relating to the property at that time. No alterations to the existing installation are proposed as part of this application.

The process from here
This application is with Wakefield 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.
