Before any development can take place, the developer must apply to the local planning authority to determine whether prior approval will be needed, although a more streamlined application process has been promised.The criteria that must be satisfied to make use of the new PD right include:
The existing building must be a purpose-built block of residential flats

The new storeys must comprise residential flatsThere are other restrictions but that's the outline
