i will soon be preparing a planning application for the following scenario and i am just wondering what is involved.
*
A 2 storey premises which is in a small town is fronting onto a footpath and public roadway in the center of the town.The front elevation consists of:
Left hand side: a shop window and door
middle: door leading to hallway for apartments
right hand side: a shop window and doorThe sides of the building are right up to the boundaries also.
There is very little openspace associated with the property only a small back yard.
This 2 storey building has been used in the following way previously:
upstairs: living accomodation (2 no. apartments)
downstairs: video shop on one side and offices on the other*
Now here is the trick bit, if u have managed to understand the above–The owner has now opened up a restaurant in the downstairs portion of the building without planning permission.
i believe the path to regularising this situation will involve:
a fire cert
an application for retention of the material change of use
is this correct?
He will the need both that you have mentioned plus
A restaurant licence
Plus clearance from environmental health
Sign of the times really when you see small video stores closing; I know that the major players are not looking at anything below 5000 sq ft these days and almost prefer retail parks to suburban locations.
