Change of use

Taking a building from one use class to another, with the drawings to prove it works.

What it involves

The building has to work in its new use before anyone will approve it.

  • Residential to commercial and back again
  • Retail, office and light industrial conversions
  • Barns and outbuildings to dwellings
  • Existing and proposed floor plans for the application
  • Access, parking and amenity provision

A change of use application is judged on the drawings as much as the argument. Most refusals are a layout that does not stand up, not a policy objection.
