Additional change of use permitted development rights applying from 30 May 2013:
Put simply. If you have a vacant shop with A1 planning use (normal retail), then for the next two years this can be used for A2 (financial services) or A3 (restaurant).
It is all a bit unclear what will happen on 1st June 2015 to successfully trading businesses, but presumably they will be granted consent to continue if they are not acting as a nuisance.
Agricultural buildings under 500 square metres can change to a number of other uses (A1, A2, A3, B1, B8, C1 and D2). For buildings between 150 square metres and 500 square metres, prior approval (covering flooding, highways and transport impacts, and noise) is required.
Premises in B1, C1, C2, C2A, D1 and D2 use classes can change use permanently to a state-funded school, subject to prior approval covering highways and transport impacts and noise.
Premises in B1(a) office use can change to C3 residential use, subject to prior approval covering flooding, highways and transport issues and contamination.
Buildings with A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, B1, D1 and D2 uses will be permitted to change use for a period of up two years to A1, A2, A3 and B1 uses.
Thresholds for business change of use. Thresholds increased on May 2013 from 235 square metres to 500 square metres for permitted development for change of use from B1 or B2 to B8 and from B2 or B8 to B1.
