Course description
Either as a tool for adding value in their own right, or as a central plank in an appeal against an enforcement notice, certificates of lawful use or development are simplistic in concept but complex in operation. This online session is designed to demystify some of the issues that can cloud cases and provides clear and practical advice to ensure that applications are processed with the minimum of fuss.
Future development is also covered by considering certificates of lawfulness of proposed use or development and how they differ from certificates relating to actual development.
Presenter Bob McGeady has been involved in the Planning and Local Government field for over 25 years and is the co-author of Certificates of Lawful Use and Development - A Guide to Making and Determining Applications. So he is well-placed to offer guidance on this topic.
