  • This building is for sale. It was built as a Drill Hall for air force cadets, if I check the business rates site it's "Special category code 999G" but under the new use classes I have to assume it'll be classed as F2.

    At what point does it's use class become defined? Is it now? Can I check it somewhere?

    How likely are Hackney Council to grant change of use from F2 to light industrial & residential (my live work dream)?

  • As a householder/non-commercial you should be able to speak to a duty planner at the council for free - it's not really specific advice but can be useful. You can pay to make a pre-app for more specific advice, although it's not binding. Might just be worth the free phone call though.

  • I’m not sure that is covered by PD. Could be a full planning job. Looking at the site, I imagine it’s expected to be developed anyway so the planning department are likely to be positive to a change to residential. You could speak to the planning department but they may be slow and unhelpful - or pay a fee and speak to a specialist
