Planning Application

What this application is

A Certificate of Lawfulness is decided on facts and law rather than the merits of the development. The applicant needs to demonstrate that the use or works are already permitted — commonly by showing that a previous permission was implemented in time, or that the proposal falls within permitted development rights for a property of this type in Bromsgrove.

This is not a planning application in the usual sense — it is a request for the council to certify that an existing use, or a proposed change, is lawful and does not need planning permission. Common examples are confirming that a permission was implemented in time, or that a proposal falls under permitted development.

The applicant's own description is: Demolition of existing conservatory and replace with single storey rear extension. The application was received by Bromsgrove and Redditch on 01 June 2026 and is currently marked pending consideration on the council register — see what that status means.

If you want to respond

Certificates are decided on evidence and law only. Objections based on the merits of the development itself are not considered — only whether the use or works are, as a matter of fact, lawful.
