This certificate proves that your use is now legal and protected from enforcement.

It confirms that your plans meet Permitted Development rules and won’t face legal challenges later. At ARM Design & Build, we assess your project carefully, prepare professional drawings, and submit everything to Liverpool City Council. Whether you’re planning a loft conversion, rear extension, or garage conversion, we ensure it follows the current planning laws. You’ll get a clear, official decision from the council that protects you during construction and helps with future sales. Avoid surprises, let’s get it approved the right way.
