View planning terms and definitions for land use

Specifying the use allowed can be described in terms of the land use group or subgroup specified in the scheme, with the particular use (or sub-category of use) included in brackets after it. An example of this is ‘place of assembly (bingo hall)’. Sometimes, it may be preferable to use the wider term in order to avoid the need for a subsequent planning application. It may be sufficient to define the permitted use as an education centre rather than as a karate or ballet school. This approach should only be adopted where the effects of changes within a wider category of use can be clearly identified as inconsequential.
