The Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 (as amended) allocates uses of land and buildings into various 'Use Classes'. The order is periodically amended by statutory instruments...

Although there are some cases of 'permitted development' it is generally the case that planning permission is required to change from one 'use' to another.

The following list gives an indication of the types of use which fall into each use class. Please note that this is a guide only and specific advice should be sought to ascertain what you can / cannot do...  Please contact us if you need advice.
