- Having considered the submitted information, on the balance of probability, the proposal would result in a material change of use under Section 55 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and would require planning permission. The character and operations of the proposal are materially different, largely to the volume of professionals visiting the property to deliver the service required. As such, the proposed development would not be permitted development and would require a specific grant of express planning permission from a C3(a) to a C2 use.
