Planning Permission when working from home
Planning Law does allow a business to run from a house provided it does not change the character of the property.
If your business relies on other people working there, extensive deliveries, or causes noise or disturbance etc, you will need planning permission as there will have been change from the ordinary use of the property as a house.
However, Planning Permission is unlikely to be needed if the householder is working alone in a study or spare room and there are no deliveries.
If you are thinking of running a business from home, please check with the Development Control Department about planning permission.
