This consultation paper from the new Labour Government proposes the introduction of a C5 use class for short term lets and permitted development rights to provide flexibility where there are no local issues with such uses. This will see a change to the Use Class Order as well as new permitted development rights.
Permitted Development Rights will allow to go from C3 to C5 and C5 to C3 without requiring planning permission. There is no known date when this will be implemented yet. We suspect this will be Summer of 2024.
