About this summary
What the council wrote is the official record. This summary was made automatically by Plotbeacon from the council's notice.
What the council wrote
Prior notification for change of use from an Agricultural building to a flexible use within Use Classes B8, C1 or E. This is not a planning application because it relates to development that is permitted by Government Regulation. It will not therefore be reported to the Planning Committee but considered by officers under delegated powers. Comments received will be considered but if notification of a decision is not made to the Applicant within 56 days of the date of registration of the proposal, it can proceed. If Officers confirm that the development can proceed, it must begin within a period of 3 years starting with the prior approval date.
