Planning - From 1st September 2020, changes to the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 (“the Use Classes Order”) will come into force that will enable many types of commercial premises to be repurposed without the need for a planning application and will allow for a quicker, and more streamlined response to ever changing business and local community needs. The recent changes announced by the UK Government will significantly amend the Use Class Order by replacing existing use classes A1 (shops), A2 (financial and professional services), A3 (restaurants and cafes) and B1 (business) with a new Class E (commercial, business and service). The effect of that will mean, subject to some exemptions, premises such as shops, restaurants, professional services, indoor sports centres, nurseries and offices will be able to change use within the new use class without having to obtain planning permission to do so
