Law firms ranked by client reviews
Permitted Use covers when a property’s current or proposed use stays within allowed categories without full planning permission, or requires only straightforward development under planning rules. A solicitor in this area checks whether an existing use is permitted, helps decide if a change of use is possible, and arranges any needed planning or permitted development rights notifications. They advise on risks, evidence, and coordination with the local planning authority to avoid breach of planning conditions. The work shapes how a property can be used for business purposes.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
A solicitor reviews the current use class, tests proposed changes against the Town and Country Planning Act and the General Permitted Development Order, and identifies where planning permission, prior approvals, or limitations apply. They gather evidence, prepare and submit representations, and liaise with the local planning authority and neighbouring interests to secure or preserve the client’s intended use, including any required dispensation or conditions that may apply.
