Lawful development certificate

If you need certainty that planning permission is not required for your proposal, you should apply for a Lawful Development Certificate. 

This is a formal decision by Elmbridge Borough Council that is sometimes required by banks or building societies if they are lending against the value of the works, or by solicitors when you come to sell the property.
