Commercial Development Monitors
Did you know that the Council monitors available office space?

Headline figures show that between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2016 the borough lost 9,623sqm of office accommodation, 75% of which is due to office to residential conversions. Over the same time period the amount of available office accommodation available on the open market fell from 33,633sqm to 26,144sqm (22%).

The Government has announced that permitted development rights for the conversion of offices to residential will be made permanent as of 6 April 2016.
