Planning & Change Use

Planning

From time to time we are required to submit a planning application to the local authority for Planning Approval; it could be for new signage or property alterations. Planning is usually applied for by means of existing and proposed drawing and the relevant forms being submitted to the Local Authority.

If this sounds confusing, it is because the law relating to planning matters is complicated and you invariably need a professional advisor to guide you through the process.

Change Use
Bigger does not necessarily always mean better, extending a business property will increase its value, but you could expand your business by others means. Expanding your business can be achieved through Change of Use, to increase the service you provide to cater for a more diverse and broader market.

The high Street and retail outlets are changing and in this fast paced society that we now live in, with no time to waste, stores are adapting to the multi-task by becoming multi-functional.

Florists are now supplying customers with flowers and champagne, news agents are selling alcohol, restaurants are opening up bars and doubling up as night clubs and other restaurants are now offering a take-away service.

Retail outlets are transforming and becoming venues offering more than one service.

Due to the recession there are currently vast numbers of redundant and vacant retail outlets, for our clients Change of Use is the most favorable option to suit their requirements.
