Owen Devenport were instructed to submit an application for a Certificate of Lawful Use for the use of land as a camping site. Evidence was submitted that the land had in fact been used as a camping site in excess of 10 years without planning permission. The evidence was carefully gathered from past owners as our client had only recently bought the property, a local pub with a camping site. It had clearly been used without interruption  for the specified period of time and as such there was no reason why a Certificate of Lawfulness could not be issued. The application was dealt with by the Council in a timely period and was granted. The new owner of the public house is naturally delighted as this was an important income stream for her.
