Change of Use: a considered approach
Advice on commercial conversions, residential changes, mixed-use proposals and relevant permitted development routes.
Every site is different. We review the proposal, relevant development plan policies, planning history, constraints and the requirements of the local planning authority before recommending the next step.
How we can assist
Our involvement can include an initial feasibility assessment, planning strategy, advice on supporting information, coordination with your design team, application preparation and ongoing liaison where agreed.
What to send us
Provide the site address and postcode, a clear description of the proposal, any available plans and any previous planning decision or reference number.
Change of use planning permission
Whether permission is required depends on the existing lawful use, proposed use, jurisdiction and applicable permitted development rights. Physical alterations, signage, extraction, servicing, noise and parking may require separate consideration.
What to expect
A lawful development certificate or equivalent evidence may be relevant where the established use is unclear. We assess planning history and supporting evidence before advising on an application strategy.
How to get started
