Campsite Certificate and Replacement Dwelling Approval Cornwall

Recent planning successes at Laurence Associates highlight the value of strong planning strategy and detailed knowledge of planning legislation.

Our team has recently secured a Certificate of Lawfulness confirming the use of land as a campsite, alongside gaining planning permission for a replacement dwelling in lieu of a previously approved Class Q conversion.

While these outcomes are important in their own right and have resulted in satisfied clients, they also demonstrate the depth of planning expertise within our team.
At Laurence Associates, our planners maintain a strong and up to date understanding of national and local planning policy. The team continually reviews and discusses new guidance, legislation, case law and relevant appeals.

This combination of experience and ongoing professional development allows us to construct robust and well considered planning arguments that support successful outcomes for our clients.

With one of the largest planning teams in Cornwall, Laurence Associates is well placed to provide clear, strategic advice for a wide range of development proposals.

Speak to our team about your project today.

If you are exploring the development potential of your land or require advice on planning strategy, our team would be pleased to discuss your project and help you move forward with confidence.
