Change of Use
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to issue planning authorities with guidance on whether applications for permission to construct light industrial buildings or workshops should be considered in the light of the possibility of a later application for change of use to residential purposes.
- Answer
-
Local planning authorities are required to determine planning applications for development in accordance with their Local Plan, national policy and other material considerations.
The temporary national permitted development right for the change of use of light industrial buildings to residential use requires the building to have been in light industrial use on 19 March 2014, and if not in use on that date for light industry to have been the last use. There are no requirements in respect of how long the building must have been in that use. The right does not apply to buildings whose use for light industrial use commenced after 19 March 2014.
