All buildings are approved for a specified use and in many cases there are specific conditions attached to the approved planning and building permits. Whenever an owner wishes to change the use to which a building is put, building approval (permit) needs to be sought and obtained.
For example, an owner wishes to change a retail property from a takeaway fish and chip shop to an office. Planning approval and building approval are required. Or a home owner wishes to change their investment property from a domestic residence to a boarding house. Again, appropriate approvals will be required.
