Proposal

Application for certificate of Lawfulness in respect of proposed use as a day nursery falls within Use Class E(f), which is within the same Use Class E as the existing lawful use of the building. As such, the proposal does not constitute development under Section 55 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as there is no material change of use between different use classes.
