Conditions E.1
Development is permitted by Class E subject to the following conditions –
some or all of the parts of the building used for any purposes within Class A1 or Class A2, as the case may be, of the Schedule to the Use Classes Order shall be situated on a floor below the part of the building used as a single flat;
where the development consists of a change of use of any building with a display window at ground floor level, the ground floor shall not be used in whole or in part as the single flat;
the single flat shall not be used otherwise than as a dwelling (whether or not as a sole or main residence) –
by not more than six residents living together as a single household (where care is provided for residents).
Interpretation of Class E E.2 For the purposes of Class E the expression “care” means “personal care” as defined in the Registered Homes (Northern Ireland) Order 1992(4).

This Order amends the Planning (General Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 1993 (the “General Development Order”) to take account of the Planning (Use Classes) Order (Northern Ireland) 2004 (the “2004 Order”).
Article 2 of the General Development Order provides a definition of the Use Classes Order and describes the Planning (Use Classes) Order (Northern Ireland) 1989 (the “1989 Order”). This Order substitutes a new definition of the Use Classes Order to take account of the replacement of the 1989 Order by the 2004 Order.
Part 3 of Schedule 1 to the General Development Order describes development, for which planning permission is granted, for certain changes of use by reference to classes of use specified in the 1989 Order. This amendment substitutes a new Part 3 taking account of the new classes of use set out in the 2004 Order (Article 3).
