Changes to planning laws

  • Posted

Legislation increasing permitted development rights for business premises and the re-use of existing buildings has recently come into force. Key features include:

* Permitting the change of use of offices to residential.
* Allowing the flexible use of existing agricultural buildings.

The amendments are intended to reduce the burden of the planning system on businesses and help boost growth.
