PART A – Planning Regulation and Conservation

The building known as 17-19 The Crescent, Salford, had been unoccupied for several years. Currently a refurbishment is underway to provide office space. However the Developer has realised it made a mistake in creating offices and now wants to use the space as residential i.e. covert the building into approximately twenty flats.

The Developer has asked you to give him initial advice on how likely the prospect of gaining planning permission is.

Write a report to the Developer outlining the key issues he is likely to meet in obtaining planning consent.

• Describe ALL Building Control procedures that must be followed in order to demonstrate compliance with the Building Regulations for the development from project inception through to completion.
