Will I need to apply for planning permission to run my business from home?

• Your home is no longer used substantially as a private residence
• Your business results in a notable rise in vehicles or people calling
• Your business involves any activities unusual in a residential area
• Your business disturbs your neighbours at unreasonable hours or it is particularly noisy or smelly.
• You employ workers at home who are not normally resident there.

If the answer if ‘yes’ to any of the above, or you would like to discuss your proposal with a Planning Officer, please Tel: 01633 648009.
