Green light for proposed outbuilding at Bromley Cross home

The application, submitted for Cherry Tree Way, sought confirmation that the construction of a single-storey outbuilding would be lawful under permitted development rights.

The proposed structure will measure 10 metres wide, five metres deep and have a maximum height of 2.5 metres.

Planning officers assessed the proposal under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015.

Their report concluded that the development complies with all relevant limitations, including height restrictions, site coverage requirements and its position within the property’s curtilage.

The council confirmed that permitted development rights had not been removed from the property through planning conditions or an Article 4 Direction, allowing the proposal to be considered under the permitted development framework.

A decision notice issued on June 1 stated that the outbuilding “would have been lawful” and therefore qualifies for a Certificate of Lawfulness under Section 192 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

The development must be carried out in accordance with the approved plans submitted as part of the application.
