Class MA permitted development rights allow the conversion of retail and commercial premises (under Use Class E) into flats or houses. Applicants need to apply for prior approval before starting work. We have written a guide to how this all works here.

In this case, we were delighted get prior approval for the conversion of a former fine art gallery into 3 high quality new homes.
