Change of Use

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, whether it is his policy to extend temporary permitted development rights beyond May 2016.

Answer

On the 30 May 2013 a new permitted development right was introduced that grants planning permission for the change of use from offices (B1(a) use class) to residential (C3 use class). This right ends on 30 May 2016.


We issued a Written Ministerial Statement on 25 March 2015, HCWS488, which noted that further consideration would be given to extending the office to residential permitted development right, and this remains the case.
