Planning application

76 Long Acre London WC2E 9JS

Awaiting decision Westminster 26/06323/CLOPUD Lawful development

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

Proposal

Confirmation of the lawfulness of the proposed use and proposed operating hours of UNIT 1 ONLY. It does not assert that the proposed 24-hour operation has already commenced. The case is that the proposed café use falls within Class E of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987, as amended, and that no enforceable planning condition identified in the relevant planning history restricts the operating hours of the application premises. Accordingly, the proposed use of Unit/Retail 1 as a café within Class E, operating 24 hours per day, seven days per week, would not constitute development requiring planning permission, subject to the evidence and plans submitted with this application.

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.
