Planning Application

What this application is

This is a change of use application in Bromsgrove and Redditch. Material considerations include highway impact, hours of operation and effect on the residential amenity of neighbours.

A change of use application asks permission to use a building or piece of land for a different purpose — for example, a shop becoming a café, or an agricultural building becoming a home. Not every change requires permission; some are covered by permitted development rights.

The applicant's own description is: Change of use from 2 bed residential flat at first floor to Class E (office) and erection of external stair for access. The application was received by Bromsgrove District and Redditch Borough Council on 20 January 2026 and is currently marked pending consideration on the council register — see what that status means.

If you want to respond

Common grounds for objection include highway or parking impact, noise, hours of operation, and loss of a valued community facility.
