for comment: draft planning guideline on Change of Use in Residential Properties

The City of Edinburgh Council are seeking views on a draft planning guideline: Change of Use in Residential Properties. 

This has been prepared to support local plan policy dealing with changes of use in residential properties.  It will replace existing guidelines on: Guest Houses (1998); Private Day Nurseries (1999); and Working from Home (2006). 

When approved in its final form, the guideline will be used by the Council to assess planning applications for change of use in residential properties.
