Do You Need To Change The Use Of A Property?
Changing the use of a building will in a lot of cases need planning permission, a good place to start is to confirm with the governing Council if planning permission is needed for the use you are looking to introduce. Alternatively you could speak to a Chartered Town Planner will either be able to answer your question, or will be able to investigate the matter on your behalf.
If planning permission is needed then there is a planning process to go through that will be made easier with planning advice and assistance over the relevant planning documentation. Also if planning permission is refused or only granted with with restrictions that you cannot accept, then they can assist through the appeal process.

On receiving their contact details you should enquire as to the experience and expertise to help you make a choice.
