All commercial land and buildings have a designated ‘permitted use’. There are different classes including the following:
Class B2 – industrial uses not included in Class E
Class B8 – wholesale warehouses and distribution centres
Class E – shops, restaurants, professional services, indoor sports facilities, healthcare premises, day care, offices and light industrial
We will advise you on the class assigned to the premises you are buying to ensure that you will be able to carry out the business that you wish there. We can also advise you in respect of applying for change of use if appropriate.
