MAKING A DOMESTIC PLANNING APPLICATION
CERTIFICATES
You
must complete and sign the formal ownership certificate accompanying the
planning application. This will either form part of the application form itself
or be a separate sheet. There are four possible certificates A,B,C or D. For
examples see [FORMS]
An application or planning permission may be made by anyone,
whether they are the owners of the property in question or not. The Ownership
Certificate requires the applicant to confirm whether he is the sole owner of
the property, or that he has notified (or attempted to notify) the lawful
owners of the property.
Similar provisions apply in relation to
If you are a tenant, you are considered to be the 'owner'
for planning purposes if you have more than 7 years unexpired on your lease.
This does not absolve you however from serving notice on the owner or other
landlord in accordance with the terms of any lease.
CERTIFICATE
A - should be completed if you are the SOLE owner of the property. This will be
the one you will probably sign for your proposal.
CERTIFICATE
B - should be completed if you are not the sole owner and requires you to
confirm that you have served notice of the application on the other owners of
the property.
CERTIFICATE
C & D - are only used in circumstances where not all, or none, of the
property owners are known and the planning application requires notices to be
published in a particular way to ensure the best chance of notifying the owner.
The
Certificate will also ask you to confirm whether any part of the application
area involves land within an agricultural tenancy. If so, you must supply
details of the tenant and serve notice of the application on him.
The
certificate must be signed and dated by the applicant or his appointed agent.
