Proposal

Application for a Lawful Development Certificate for an Existing use The property previously had temporary planning permission for a wooden bungalow which was renewed a number of times from 1949 through to 1978. There are two further planning permissions relating to retention of the wooden bungalow which Cornwall Council has been unable to provide on request because they are missing. In 1994 permission was given for a new roof on the bungalow. This permission does not reference the bungalow or the roof being temporary.This application is to confirm that the existing use of the bungalow as a dwellinghouse is lawful. Data via plota.co.uk
