Could anyone advise me as to whether the change of use of a B1 Office building under PD to an HMO would be limited to six units? ... and if Planning permission is not required?
Put another way, could one change the use of a B1 office building to an HMO providing circa. 20 units via permitted development rights? ... thereby avoiding social housing contributions and attracting only building regs requirements??
How does this work in the context of the six people living as a family rule please? ... remembering it's PD.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
J.Coleman. MRTPI.
