Will I get permission for a commercial property?
Permitted Development
There are permitted development allowances for commercial properties you should look at the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) for further guidance.
There are some changes of use that do not require planning permission.
If you require confirmation that your proposal does not require planning permission then you should apply for a Lawful Development Certificate (LDC) proposed.
