The Plannery secured a Certificate of Lawfulness confirming that a Pilates studio could operate from part of a residential property in Shere without the need for planning permission.

By carefully reviewing the property’s planning history, historic retail use and lawful use position, we demonstrated that the proposed Pilates studio use did not constitute development. A Certificate of Lawfulness was granted, providing certainty for the homeowner and allowing the business to operate immediately without the need for a full planning application.
