RCC have been involved in numerous successful annex proposals with the many of them being certificate of lawfulness applications to demonstrate that planning permission is not required for the annex. Another agent had tried this at the property but the council could not support the application due to a lack of information and an insufficient case being made. RCC were therefore asked to take the matter over and a solution was found that was acceptable to our client and overcame the previous concerns of the council with them then being willing to issue the certificate of lawfulness.
