HomePlanningCheck is an independent service. It is not connected to any council, government department, the Planning Portal, Historic England or HM Land Registry. Results are a screening of the rules and the open data we hold, not a planning decision. Only a Lawful Development Certificate from your council makes the position certain, and anyone can apply for one direct to the council or through the Planning Portal.
