Commercial-to-residential change of use: rules, council figures and cost

Class MA of the General Permitted Development Order lets a Class E commercial, business or service building change to homes through prior approval, provided the building has been in an eligible use for a continuous period of at least 2 years, with exclusions such as listed buildings and scheduled monuments.[1]

Plandome's fixed fee for this service is £3,000 (VAT_WORDING_TBC). The council's own application fee is separate.
