Planning Decision

Why it was refused

  1. The information submitted with the application is insufficient to demonstrate that the ground floor of the property has been lawfully used as a children's day nursery for ten years prior to the date of this application. The evidence provided does not adequately establish the commencement, nature, extent or continuity of the claimed use and the Local Planning Authority is therefore not satisfied that the requirements of Section 191 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 have been met. Accordingly, a Certificate of Lawfulness for Existing Use cannot be granted. southwark.gov.uk 1 Southwark Council, PO Box 64529, DECISION NOTICE LBS Registered Number: 26/AP/2272
