What experiences have you had then? Change of use or what? J It wasn't me it was a neighbour. He was (and in part still is) running a kitchen fitting business from his home. The council got wind of the fact he was basically using one room for an office and his garage for a workshop and found this out because they were a bit upset that large lorries kept delivery goods in a residential area (that was how they started anyway i.e. the trigger on the radar). I guess someone complained. Anyway in the end they made him move out of his garage BUT he managed to keep his "home office" because it also had a domestic use (well thats what he argued). It did take him a bit of stress and a while to convince them though, they were mumbling about business rates and that our development is a residential development, hence no designed for "business" traffic (whatever the fupp that means). The irony is he still has stuff delivered to home in big lorries (less often admittedly), but then moves it from his garage (store) to his (at the moment) free rent workspace from the council! Its also ironic that there are at least 8 or 9 people who work from their homes and I know 3 of them run businesses out of their homes. |
