Change of use from B1a (offices) to C3 (dwellinghouses)

Planning system update

Our new planning system is now live. We are currently managing a high volume of applications, consultation responses, and local land charges search requests as we complete the transition to the new system.

If you notice any issues while using the service, please let us know. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

An Article 4 Direction has been made to remove permitted development rights regarding the change of use from B1a use (offices) to C3 use (dwellinghouses). The Direction applies to the sites shown on the Schedule of Maps in the Article 4 Direction.  The effect of the Direction means that a change of use from  offices to residential in these locations will require planning permission and will be assessed against our Local Plan planning policies.

The Direction was confirmed by us on 26 February 2018 and came into force on 16 May 2018.
