Lawful Development Certificate Application
The Lawful Development Certificate Application process is very Black and White with no grey areas unlike other application types and as such the emphasis is very much on the applicant to provide the relevant information and supporting evidence to substantiate the claim.
Lawful Development Certificate applications often have to prove that either the development or use meets with the requirements of Permitted Development Rights or 4 / 10 Year rules and the latter is offer where the local authority refuses for lack of evidence to meet the burden of probability. This type of refusal can be avoided in many circumstances simply by ensuring the correct and well documented evidence can be submitted in a way that meets the minimum requirements.
List of a typical required documents:
1) Application statement detailing everything required and explaining how the application meets the requirements to gain a permission.
2) Plans
3) Images / photos
4) Receipts / invoices
5) Witness statements and Statutory Declarations
This list is not exhaustive and not all are always needed, but when this information is collated correctly and Statutory declarations are submitted to support a clear and detailed application will often result in a positive result.
