PL/2026/00699/CLEUDCert. Lawful Dev ExistingRefused
Lawful development certificate

Refused on 9 June 2026

Delegated (officer decision)

Proposal

Certificate of lawful development for the existing use of building within the red line boundary as an office and workshop, including associated storage ancillary to that use. The building has been in continuous non-agricultural use since the early 1990s. At no point has the use ceased or the building been abandoned and there has been no reversion to agricultural use at any time. The use has therefore been continuous for a period well in excess of 10 years prior to the enforcement action taken in 2022.
