We regularly help secure approvals for the change of use of land or buildings for a range of clients. Whilst some of these applications can be straight forward and fall within the same class order requiring only building regulations compliance, others present more of a challenge.
Our most recent cases include Houses in Multiple Occupation (HIMO), fast food take-aways, car washes, self contained flats, community buildings and health care centres. Where the external appearance of the building will change in connection with a change of use planning permission will most likely be required.
