Change of Use News: Change of use applications 'are on the increase'
Planning applications concerning change of use are on the rise, according to research from a law firm.
EMW's figures show the number of change of business use submissions increased by nine per cent to 6,200 in the second quarter of 2010 and grew ten per cent to 6,800 in the following three months, Building.co.uk reported.
"The jump in planning applications for change of use shows that landlords and developers are now willing to take action and commit resources to try and get into the segment of the property market where there is the most demand locally," explained Giles Ferin, planning specialist at the commercial law firm.
Owners of commercial property in London and other parts of the UK could run into difficulties when local authorities want to "preserve the mix of different uses", as it means they are sitting on vacant property because there is no demand for that type of building, he added.
The research comes as Nottingham City Council announced landlords in the city will have to obtain planning permission if they want to open their rental property up into a shared house for up to six unrelated people.

Change of Use News: Bolton pub 'to be turned into community centre'
A former pub could undergo a change of use and be transformed into a community centre.
The Bolton News reports that the Church Inn in Deane, could be refurbished by the Heaton Unity Association (HUA) charity and eventually host a library, classrooms and a computer area.
A spokesman for the HUA wrote in the planning application: "The centre would provide a drop-in facility for careers advice. People can get help with online job search, job applications and with general information technology access.
"We have enthusiastic volunteers, many of them professionals from all walks of life, but we are unable to tap into this vital resource due to the continual hurdles we face in the way of a suitable location to base our activities," the application explained.
Councillor Robert Allen of Bolton Council told the newspaper that the proposals sound good.
"Pubs are closing everywhere every day and if this one hasn't worked, it makes sense to change it rather than have a derelict building," he added.
