It is tough enough keeping up with planning policy and advising clients accordingly as it is without every councils having different policies. The rules on change of use should be universal. We already have this issue with CIL and now code for sustainable house where different councils have different requirement.. Scrap the permitted developers bit and just look at each case on it merits .. We did an application last years for office to resi and we got approval because we were able to prove that it had been empty for 4 years and marketed correctly.
