Longstanding use of part of a house in Beaumaris as flats secured

We were approached by a client who had recently purchased a property in Beaumaris which had been used as flats for over 30 years without any planning permission. As this use had been ongoing for as long as it had we advised our client to apply for a Certificate of Lawfulness to secure the flats.

We then prepared a detailed case setting out detail of the extensive evidence available to prove the longstanding use, and assisted our client and the previous owner of the site with preparing Statutory Declarations to further support the evidence they had assembled. With all the evidence gathered we submitted an application for lawful use. Not too long after the Local Planning Authority confirmed that the use was in fact lawful which has now secured tow attractive flats in thriving seaside town, considerably enhancing the value of their property.
