Retrospective Permission vs Certificate Of Lawfulness In Crickhowell

Crickhowell property owners facing unauthorised work often assume time or ignorance offers some protection, it genuinely doesn’t for a retrospective application. The council weighs it against exactly the same planning policy as a fresh submission, and there’s no reduced fee for having built first and asked permission after.

Where enough time has genuinely passed without any enforcement action, a certificate of lawfulness might be the more appropriate route instead, worth checking honestly before committing to a retrospective application.

Where the work in Crickhowell has genuinely been in place for years without any enforcement action, it’s worth checking whether it may already be immune, sometimes a far more certain route than a discretionary application.
