Anyone know this one. If a new barn conversion has 'offices' on the back of it so as to pass planning, how long would you have to wait until you could change the office to a couple of bedrooms? I assume that you'd have to get change of use on part of a property...
Cheers
yes you need change of use. No permitted rights from B1 to residential.
And how long after a new conversion would be reasonable to wait before applying for change of the remaining comercial part? (it's attatched to the main builing, not sure if that makes a differance)
Until the planning officer changes and they forget why they insisted on offices when planning was granted.
That sounds about right sadly!
pretty much as above: "Until a sufficient change of circumstances"
those circumstances may be:
govt policy,
change of planning officer,
parish council opinion,
local redevelopment
etc
Unfortunately "the missus wants an en suite" doesnt count 😉
