East Street, Brighton

Prior approval secured for the proposed change of use of redundant first-floor retail space at this property in a highly sought after city centre location in Brighton, East Sussex. The scheme will provide a single unit of high quality self-contained residential accommodation for two people.

As this project constituted permitted development, there was no requirement to satisfy national and local planning policies – as would have been the case had it been identified that a full planning application would be necessary. This route crucially made the project financially viable for the client.
