King Square, Bristol

Background

MEP was approached by our client to regularise the existing residential use of the site. As the building was listed, a Certificate of Lawfulness for an Existing Use (CLUED) was required, with an accompanying application for listed building consent.

The application sought to confirm that the ground floor of the property had been used as three residential flats for a period of time exceeding 10 years. The works had been undertaken following a fire and whilst the necessary building regulation had been obtained, the relevant planning permission or Listed Building Consent had not been obtained.

Site details and constraints

Grade II listed building and forms part of an 18th Century mid Georgian Terrace comprising 6 dwellings. Located approximately 3km from the city centre, the subject site also lies within the Stokes Croft Conservation Area.

Our role

The MEP team were responsible for preparing and submitting the necessary evidence to demonstrate that the property had undergone a material change of use and had been used solely for three residential flats for a period of time which exceeded three years. Furthermore, it was necessary to submit an application for retrospective Listed Building Consent.

The team worked closely with the planners and Conservation Officer at Bristol City Council throughout the process, ensuring that all considerations were resolved.

Outcomes

A CLUED and retrospective Listed Building Consent was obtained.
