Re: Re: Exempted development concurrently with planning permissi

Well, there used to be an differecne between office and industrial storage buildings if I recall correctly.

Office buildings usually tied into an urban matrix and so numbers of cloors, fenestration and building volume and occupancy all wenr together.

Industrial storage buildings went on volume [this is goign bac ka decade or more, so I may stand corrected] and so the addition of a mezzanine – as oppsoed simply stacking boxes/pallets/containers high on super-flat floors – was less of an issue.

But where people are, there even on mezzxanine floors, there are specific issues to address – I think BS: 5588 – Part 11 may refer, although that’s from memory and it may have been superseded again [at ST£400 a go, just to preserve the professions as teh provinces of the monied middle classes] in the past two years.

Either way, the OP doesn’t give enough information – a “comercial building” could mean anything…

ONQ.
