| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| Worcester City Council of The Guildhall, High Street, Worcester WR1 2EY HEREBY REFUSES to issue a Certificate of Lawful Development (Existing) under Section 191 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 in respect of the matter described above and the land shown edged red on the submitted plan, for the following reason: The evidence submitted fails to demonstrate, on the balance of probabilities, that development authorised by planning permission reference 19/00614/FUL was lawfully commenced within the time limit prescribed by Condition 1 of that permission. The activities relied upon, including demolition works and archaeological investigations, are preparatory in nature and do not constitute the carrying out of building operations or other operational development sufficient to amount to commencement under Section 56 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. The demolition works were undertaken pursuant to a separate prior approval and cannot reasonably be relied upon as commencement of the development authorised by the planning permission. As the development was not lawfully commenced within the requisite three-year period, the planning permission has lapsed and the certificate sought cannot be granted. |
