Details

As part of the Plan for Growth, the government announced that there would be a review of how change of use is handled in the planning system. The key aim of this review is to look at the scope for further liberalisation and how we might remove the barriers to change of use to help facilitate growth.

This paper is the first stage of that review and is intended to promote discussion and serve as an invitation to interested parties to submit evidence of any issues with the operation of the current system and areas for possible change.
