Mixed-Use Change of Use
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
I own a property that is currently classified as residential, and I’m ready to apply for a change of use so it can operate as a mixed-use building—part private living space, part short-term lets (Airbnb-style).
Here’s what I need from you:
• A clear, planning-ready change-of-use package that satisfies my local authority’s requirements.
• Scaled floor plans and elevations showing the proposed mixed-use layout.
• A concise planning or design statement that explains how the residential and commercial short-stay elements will coexist, addresses potential concerns such as noise, access, refuse, and parking, and demonstrates compliance with relevant policies.
• Advice on any building-regulation implications and a brief schedule of further specialist reports if they’re likely to be required (e.g., fire safety, acoustic study).
• One round of revisions to incorporate feedback before submission.
Please provide further photos of the outside of the dwelling. Please see the attached guidance.
Please submit existing and proposed floor plans. These should be to scale at 1:50 or 1:100 with key dimensions annotated (width, depth and distance to boundaries if not already annotated on the another plan).
It is a national requirement to provide a Block/Site Plan of the site. The plan must be at a scale of 1:100, 1:200 or 1:500, and include the distance to boundary annotated and needs to show the proposed works which can be hatched/outlined in red.
The site location plan must be accurately scaled and include a scale bar. Two plans have been submitted: one outlines only the building in red, while the other correctly outlines the full site but does not scale properly. As such, a revised, correctly scaled site location plan with a scale bar is required.
Please provide a supporting statement/ document setting out the specifics of the change of use.
