What permission is needed to split a building with 10 apartments into 2 units of 5 apartments each?


Recommended Posts

The building was originally built as 2 separate dwellings, it was then converted to offices and combined into a single unit. It currently has planning permission for a change of use back to C3 as 10 apartments utilising a single entrance and single staircase (original had 2).

My client is seeking to split the property back into two units (utilising the original entrances), and retain the C3 classification. He then wants to use C3 to C4 to convert to 2 separate HMO's.

Any help would be appreciated.

sorry for the delay.

You can convert the two to C3 under Class MA, but this would then require planning to go to C4.

Personally I would probably look to convert straight to an HMO, either as one larger Sui Generis HMO, or two.

I would recommend using a planning consultant for this.
