    Prior notification for change of use from Class B1 (offices) to Class C3 (dwellinghouses). This is not a planning application because it relates to development that is permitted by Government Regulation. It will not therefore be reported to the Planning Committee but considered by officers under delegated powers. Comments received will be considered but if a decision is not made within 56 days of the date of registration of the proposal, it can proceed.
