Planning and housing minister Brandon Lewis has announced
that the temporary office-to-residential permitted development (PD) right, that
was due to lapse at the end of May 2016, will be made permanent. The minister
said that, in addition, the new permanent right would allow office buildings to
be pulled down and replaced with new residential buildings. He also confirmed
that those who already have permission to convert offices to homes under the
temporary PD right will have three years in which to complete the change of
use. In addition, new permitted development rights will enable the change of
use of light industrial buildings and launderettes to new homes. Read more on
