Proposal

Implementation of planning permission 16/00702/FUL for the construction of a four-bedroom detached dwelling with associated access at Land Off Barway Road, Barway Building works were commenced before the expiry of the planning permission. The works included the excavation and construction of foundations for the approved garage, which were inspected by Building Control. The building works form part of the approved residential development and are located within the application site outlined in red on the submitted plans. This application seeks a Certificate of Lawfulness for Existing Development to confirm that the planning permission was lawfully implemented by the carrying out of material operations within the required time period.
