Need a Change of Use in Manchester?

Looking for change of use planning help in Manchester? Whether you are looking to expand your existing business or a looking for the ideal premises for a new business venture, HAD & Co Property Consultants are your first point of call! As well as sourcing ideal premises in Manchester, we can advise on the best route to take to achieve your goals through the planning and building processes.

HAD & Co Property Consultants have experience in all types of change of use projects and have completed a wide range of planning applications for various change of use developments. These include plans for permitted development and those requiring prior notification from the planning department at Manchester City Council.

Using the class use system and government legislation of permitted development rights, HAD & Co can find the best course of action to change the existing use of a building to what you desire even if this means it would require a full planning application. This can be turning an A1 retail shop in Manchester to an A5 hot food takeaway, or a B1 office conversion into a C3 residential flat or apartment for the ever-growing population of Manchester.

As well as the usual change of use, HAD & Co have also had experience in full planning applications to turn old disused public houses into childcare centres and nurseries. Also, similar vacant properties have changed use into Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMO) suitable for the student population and shisha bars for those seeking a different kind of leisure activity! As Manchester is so diverse, there are many class uses that can be turned into new uses with the help of our planning consultants and our planning permission services.
