CS2 to host Free Webinar alongside the PMA and Apex Planning: How to manage your Asset in a changing Market

New major changes were introduced by the Government last summer to the General Permitted Development Order (GPDO), which now provides far greater flexibility to help residential areas, high streets and town centres adapt quickly to what consumers and businesses need; and to also provide protection for community-based uses.

The introduction of Class E is significant and places many uses to include retail, food, gyms, healthcare, offices, light industry into one single use.  Consequently, any change of use of a building falling within the new E use class will not require planning permission.

Experts in their field Paul Smith of Apex Planning and Rhys Williams of CS2, are presenting a free webinar on the 21st May, hosted by the PMA, to discuss in detail the recent changes, how they will affect you and how CS2 will appraise your investment options and optimise your assets.
