Planning

Existing Use
A new Use Classes Order (UCO) came into effect on 1st September 2020. Under the new UCO a new Use Class E was introduced to cover commercial, business and service uses. Use Class E encompasses A1, A2, A3, B1 and some D1 and D2 uses under the former UCO. We therefore understand that the premises benefit from Class E 'Commercial Business and Service' use within the Use Classes Order 2020.

Proposed Use
The premises also benefit from Prior Approval for the proposed change of use from Office/Commercial to two residential flats under NOTICE/0013/25.

This development is NOT liable for Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and therefore no CIL is payable.
