LDC Planning application approved in Haringey

This application for a Certificate of Lawful Development proposes the removal of the existing raised patio and the erection of a modest rear outbuilding. The works are designed to improve he usability and balance of the outdoor space while remaining firmly within the scope of permitted development rights. Rather than adding bulk or overdeveloping the site, the proposal replaces an underutilised feature with a practical, well designed structure that enhances the property’s long term value

We have maintained an open dialogue with Haringey Council throughout the planning process to ensure the scheme meets both legislative requirements and the council’s expectations. These discussions have guided the preparation of clear plans, elevations, and supporting evidence, all of which demonstrate compliance with the general permitted development order

The outbuilding has been carefully considered in terms of height, scale, and siting, ensuring it integrates sensitively with the garden and surrounding environment. Removing the raised patio will restore natural ground levels and create a more functional layout, resulting in a cleaner, more attractive setting for the dwelling.

Taken together, these improvements represent a balanced, policy compliant development that delivers genuine benefits to the property without adverse impacts on neighbours or the wider character of the area. With thorough documentation and continued cooperation with the council, this application makes a clear and compelling case for a lawful development certificate to be granted
