- Plans: For information (a) Dwg No. 1487/1 – Pre Existing and Existing Site Plan/Location Plan, Rec'd 02/09/2026 (b) Dwg No. 1487/2 – Existing First and Loft Floor Plans, Rec'd 02/09/2026 (c) Dwg No. 1487/3 – Existing Elevations, Rec'd 02/09/2026 (d) Dwg No. 1487/4 – Pre Existing Plans and Elevations, Rec'd 02/09/2026
- Based on the evidence available to the Local Planning Authority, the loft conversion with rear dormer extension and 2no. rooflights to the front elevation did exist prior to 20 August 2021. Therefore, on the balance of probabilities, the application complies with the provisions of Section 191 (1) and (4) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and a lawful development certificate under this Section can therefore be issued.
