The Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) (Amendment) (England) Order 2015

This Order amends the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 (S.I. 1987/764) (“the principal Order”). The principal Order specifies classes for the purposes of section 55(2)(f) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (c. 8), which provides that a change of use of a building or other land does not involve development for the purposes of the Act if the new use and the former use are both within the same specified class. This Order amends the principal Order by providing that use as a betting office and use as a pay day loan shop are in included in article 3(6) of the principal Order: the list of uses excluded from the specified classes.
