If you are seeking to build or expand your premises but need some guidance, we have a supportive and proactive planning team who offer pre-application advice. 

'Use classes' are given to commercial sites and premises, and these determine what they can be used for. To change from one use class to another you may need to submit a planning application for change of use. To check out your use class please contact our planning technicians on 01246 345351.  

Please see the pre-application advice section for more information.
