Planning Permission
As the property has previously been used as a ‘Community
Centre’ it will have an F2(b) Use Class Order ‘Local
Community’. This should easily enable the property to also
be used for F1 ‘Learning and Non-Residential Institutions’.
Alternative uses such as offices, professional services or day
nursery (within the E Use Class Order) are also likely to be
permitted, although will require a ‘Change of Use’ planning
Application being granted.

Anti Money Laundering Regulations
In accordance with the anti-money laundering regulations,
two forms of identification will be required (e.g.
photographic driving license, passport, utility bill) from the
applicant and a credit check may also be required, the cost
of which will be the responsibility of the applicant. Where
appropriate we will also need to see proof of funds.
