| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| Malvern Hills District Council, The Council House, Avenue Road, Malvern, Worcestershire WR14 3AF HEREBY CERTIFY that application reference M/24/01800/CLE registered on 24/12/2024 for a Certificate of Lawfulness Existing Use or Development is REFUSED in relation to the matter described in the First Schedule to this Notice in respect of the land specified in the Second Schedule to this Notice and outlined in red on the plan attached to this Notice, for the following reasons :- Reason 1: Insufficient evidence has been provided of a precise and unambiguous nature, which demonstrates that on the balance of probabilities the application site was in continuous use as storage (use class B8), an office (use class E (g)(i)) as well as a single residential unit (use class C3), for a period of at least 10 years in the case of the storage and office use, and four years in the case of the single residential unit, up until the date of this application (24/12/2024). More specifically: • Insufficient evidence has been provided which demonstrates that the application site has been used continuously as an office (use class E (g)(i)), since the use commenced in 2014, up until the date of this application (24/12/2024), • Insufficient evidence has been provided, which demonstrates that the application site has been used as storage (use class B8), for a period of at least 10 years up until the date of this application (24/12/2024), • Insufficient evidence has been provided, which demonstrates that the application site was used for residential purposes (use class C3) between 24/12/2020 and 24/10/2021. Reason 2: The application site, as outlined in red on the submitted location plan, comprises three buildings and surrounding land and the application description does not outline which of the stated uses relate to which part of the application site. It is not possible to grant a certificate of lawfulness where the application description does not clearly specify which parts of the application site are used for which purported purpose. |
