Paramount Investments offer freehold residential, commercial and industrial building land and properties for sale with local aothority planning permission or consent for change of use in London, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Liverpool, Bristol, Cardiff, Leicester, Hull, Newcastle and Bradford

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.

Commercial & Residential Development Properties & Building Land with Planning Permission For Sale

You should not overlook the limitations on use imposed by the planning permission over the land or buildings and any conditions that may be attached. The wording of planning permissions is often critical.

Essentially, any fundamental change of use from the present use to a completely different one (that is not allowed by the Use Classes Order or as permitted development) will require planning permission.
A minor change of use may escape the need for planning permission because it is not considered so significant as to be a 'material' change. But care is required in assessing the significance of the change.
The intensification of a use may also attract the need for planning permission if the enlarged use is so significant as to alter the original circumstances beyond what may be considered acceptable.
Planning permissions should be checked to ensure that the proposal is not outside the terms of the consent or contrary to planning conditions.

The Building Regulations, Change of Use & Planning Consents

THE BUILDING REGULATIONS set out the requirements necessary to ensure a consistent and appropriate standard of health, safety, energy conservation and accessibility is achieved in building work, for both domestic and commercial proposals. They are laid down by Parliament and are accompanied by a series of "Approved Documents" which relate to particular aspects of the Regulations.

The Building Regulations cover most building works including the erection of new buildings, conversion and extension of existing buildings, and the installation of heating, drainage or sanitary facilities.

The Building Regulations may also introduce the need for Building Regulation Approval in relation to a change of use of a building, even if building works are not intended. This is because the change of use may introduce the need for health and safety measures, disabled access facilities etc.

The Building Regulations may also come into play in circumstances where works that you are considering undertaking may have a structural or other building impact upon adjoining property; for example, by affecting support for party walls. This is a particular consideration for the removal of trees (especially in clay subsoil areas) where the foundations of property could be affected by their removal.
