Proposal

Certificate of Lawfulness development ( existing) use from Southwark Council for the existing 1946 structure which consists of three flats. Since the works were completed over 10 years ago (in 1946), they are considered immune from enforcement action. The property was converted into three flats on 14 May 1946 before the Town and Country Planning Act 1947 was created and so there was no requirement at that time for planning permission to be obtained or building control requirements. Since 14 May 1946 the property has been used as three separate self-contained dwellings and has been let or leased to Housing Associations afflicted with and merged together to now form Southern housing. The current lease is to South London Family Housing Association (now Southern Housing) created on 23 July 2001.
