Application for a Certificate of Lawful Development for a 30 year old domestic dwelling: Refused by Ealing Council

[^woody^]

Just to clarify, was the application for CLD or CLEUD?

It was for a CLD.

Oh, I wonder then if that is why the CLD was refused on the basis that it could never be approved, as the correct application would be for CLEUD. If that's the case an appeal won't be able to overturn the decision, and perhaps that supports the council's suggestion to reapply?

So we're back to square one after all. Looks like she can't avoid having to pay again.

When my LABC came to look at a job, they were keen to point out that they had no paperwork for the extension we were refurb ing. Built in 1970. When I pushed them, they eventually confirmed it had.

They also implied I had to include the reinstatement of an en-suite in the building notice. For extra monies, of course. I told them no.

…and if the Council already know because they have refused a LDC then indemnity insurance cannot be provided.

Precisely

It they refused on evidence grounds it must have been for an actual use not a proposed one. So an appeal is appropriate as tne council have no contrary evidence and she has plenty to support her. Evidence of rating, tenancy agreements will help. Worth applying for an ldc for the physical extension aswell.
