<p>Permitted development rights for change of use are part of a package of measures
brought forward to support the modernisation of our high streets, helping them adapt
to provide for a mix of retail, leisure, community and residential uses. <br> <br>The
rights for change of use from shops and financial services to residential use are
subject to prior approval by the local planning authority, allowing them to consider
the impact of the proposed change of use on the sustainability of the town centre
and on an adequate provision of retail services.</p><p> </p>
