Council decision: Certificate of Lawfulness Approved

Approximate location: the centre of the postcode, not the exact property.

Proposal

Certificate of Lawfulness (proposed) - 1) the formation of a permeable hardstanding within the residential curtilage of the dwellinghouse; 2) the installation of a 4.0m wide, 1.8m high electric sliding gate positioned along the existing boundary line; and 3) the formation of a vehicular access within the residential curtilage to serve the hardstanding. The hardstanding will be constructed using a permeable surface and free-draining sub-base to ensure that all surface water drains within the curtilage and does not discharge onto the highway or adjoining land. All works shown on the submitted plans are confined entirely within the residential curtilage of No. 27 Mount Pleasant. No works are proposed beyond the curtilage. Any works within the adopted highway, should they be required, would be undertaken separately by Hertfordshire Highways under their own licensing regime and do not form part of this application at 27 Mount Pleasant St Albans Hertfordshire AL3 4QU
