Use Class Order 2012 / 2013 Difference between B1 and B2 - Public forum - Planning Advisory Service (PAS)

Hi Les - not sure where you're getting this from?

The B1c use for light industry appears to still be in place. What is “the new OCO” that you are referring to? Regarding appropriate use classes for waste operations, the planning dictum of each case on it own merits applies here too. Waste operations usually are either sui generis or B2/B1c (the difference between the two of course essentially being impact on residential amenity) or in very few instances B8. In a nutshell: a waste facilities may be B2 if the primary function falls within any of the “industrial process” activities listed in Article 2 (b) of the UCO “(b) the altering, repairing, maintaining, ornamenting, finishing, cleaning, washing, packing, canning, adapting for sale, breaking up or demolition of any article; or” The tricky ones are when the primarily activity consists only of sorting of waste (no processing) for treatment elsewhere – they are usually sui generis. Also note that Article 3(6)(g) of the UCO states that “No class specified in the Schedule includes use as a scrapyard, or a yard for the storage or distribution of minerals or the breaking of motor vehicles,”. From your description above, Article 3(6)(j) would not be relevant.
