Law firms ranked by client reviews
Changes of use cover the process of changing a building’s approved use, for example from offices to housing or from a shop to a restaurant, within England. A solicitor in this area advises on planning permissions, conditions and any required planning applications, negotiates with the local planning authority, and may prepare planning statements, sketches, and supporting documents; they also handle potential objections, land use classifications, and any necessary variations of conditions. They assess how the change impacts zoning, traffic, and local policies to ensure the proposed use is lawful and consented.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles applications under the Town and Country Planning Act and related planning guidance, negotiates with planning officers, and may address material considerations such as flood risk, highways, and conservation areas. They coordinate with consultees, prepare statements of case, and respond to consultations, while ensuring compliance with planning conditions and potential appeals if permission is refused or conditions are challenged.
