Certificate of Lawfulness in Charlton, South East London
Charlton Lane, Charlton
Certificate of Lawfulness secured for the proposed use of the property for Use Class C3(a) purposes.
To argue the case for a certificate to be issued, reliance was placed on Schedule 2, Part 3, Class L of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 and a case made to justify a move from either Use Class C3(c) or C4 to C3(a) and vice versa.
As the proposed change of use was successfully argued to constitute permitted development, there was no requirement to satisfy any national, regional or local planning policies - as would have been the case had it been identified that a full planning application would be necessary.
Obtaining the certificate of lawfulness has proven invaluable to the landowner as they now have the confidence that they needed to take this vacant property to the open market.
