Prior Approval – Change Of Use From an Office and Residential (Class E and C3) to full Residential (Class C3)

The client approached Planning By Design regarding a proposed change of use from an Office and Residential (Class E and C3) to full Residential (Class C3). The building is a five storey, that currently functions as an office with a residential component demonstrating mixed-use nature. The client is purchasing the entire property and seeking to convert the property as a family home with the purpose to live in.

Following a planning appraisal with one of our chartered town planners, it was determined that the project is feasible, however, Prior Approval is legally required.

One of our chartered architects produced the required architect drawings which the client approved. Following approval of the architect design one of our chartered town planners has prepared the required Planning, Design and Access Statement, to justify why the application should be approved. With the client's approval, the architect drawings and Planning, Design and Access Statement were submitted.

Prior Approval has now been granted for the change of use from an Office and Residential (Class E and C3) to full Residential (Class C3).
