This popular and widely read blog acts as a Legal Commentary on issues affecting Town & Country Planning including recent changes in planning legislation and judicial rulings in planning cases, as well as some thoughts on other issues arising in the course of my work as a Planning Lawyer. It was originally intended mainly for fellow planning professionals, but all are welcome to read it. The views expressed are my own and nobody else’s.

New forms on the Planning Portal
Although no forms are prescribed for the new prior notification procedures under the recent amendments to the General Permitted Development Order, the Planning Portal has helpfully published a simple notice for prior approval of a Change of Use from Business to Residential (in England only, of course). It is based on the requirements set out in the GPDO amendment order, so presumably contains none of the nonsense that might be included in some LPAs’ home-made forms. No guidance notes are included with the form, which is hardly surprising in view of the utter confusion over how this particular prior notification procedure will work in practice! Further prior approval forms are being prepared for future publication on the Planning Portal.
