Change of Use, Planning Permission & Consent for Development Land & Properties
Converting a building with an existing use - shop or a pub, a church or a barn - will require planning permission, as will dividing off part of your investment to use as a separate home, for example as a granny flat, or for business use, or converting a garage into living space.
There are certain types of change of use, which do not require planning permission. For example, a change of use from one type of shop to another does not (normally) require planning permission. These are set out in the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes Order) 1987.
Certain changes are permissible between and within the use classes without the need for planning permission, subject to satisfying the appropriate criteria.
Planning permission may be required if the external appearance of the existing pub or shop are to be altered, or if new buildings are proposed. Planning permission may also be required if a change of use is proposed from a commercial property, pubs or hotels to a residential property, and vice versa.
Planning laws on change of use may restrict development to residential property on pubs in certain areas; a city centre pub is more likely to gain permission for conversion to a residential property than the only pub in the village. High street pubs may also be put to different commercial uses; some changes are considered as 'permitted development' under the Use Classes Order 1987.
