Certificate of Lawfulness - Brighton and Hove City Council

Our client recently purchased a house in multiple occupation (HMO) in Cromwell Road, Hove.

They had been requested by Brighton and Hove City Council to provide existing scale floor plans for a certificate of lawfulness. These certificates confirm one of the following:

*Planning Permission was not required or development had taken so long ago that is immune from enforcement action.

GDImpact provided scale 1:100 plans on paper size A3 with the location plan above at 1:1250.

The initial site survey was carried out with access to all parts of the building arranged with the current occupants.

GDImpact were able to measure and collect the data from one site visit resulting in minimal disruption for the tenants.

Draft plans were delivered for approval within our clients strict timescales.

With minimal amendments required, our client was able to successfully deliver the plans to Brighton and Hove city council to assist in obtaining the lawful development certificate.

Should the client convert the building into self contained flats then GDImpact will be able to further assist in providing  Land Registry compliant lease plans and SAP calculations for building control to ensure minimum energy standards are achieved.
