Bloomfields were able to assist our clients in successfully obtaining a Lawful Development Certificate which confirms that the existing residential use and occupation of the dwelling in breach of the approved use as ancillary accommodation is now the property’s recognised lawful use.
Through the presentation of compelling evidence and carefully worded Statutory Declarations, we were able to demonstrate that the property had been ‘in the balance of probabilities’ occupied as a separate independent dwelling.
This certificate makes the property capable of being used unencumbered as a stand-alone dwelling.
