Certificate of Lawfulness

Simplicity Designs’ architectural experts have dealt with the acquisition of Certificates of Lawfulness on numerous occasions. A Certificate of Lawfulness is a legal document whose purpose is to regularise unauthorised development.

Perhaps you, or a previous owner, have made changes to a property without acquiring planning permission. Or, perhaps a house has been converted to flats, again without the appropriate permissions.

If certain criteria are met, a Certificate of Lawfulness can be retrospectively issued. If you find yourself in this situation, the experts at Simplicity Designs are here to help. For further information, contact us without further ado!
