Class H – mixed use to commercial, business and service or betting office or pay day loan shop
Class H of the General Permitted Development Order (GPDO) offers flexibility to property owners by permitting the conversion of buildings with mixed uses, including residential flats, to various commercial, business, and service uses within Class E, or to maintain their use as betting offices or payday loan shops.
This versatility allows owners to adapt their properties to meet market demands.
The legislation simplifies the conversion process by removing the need for a full planning or Prior Approval application. The works could just be undertaken.
