Spec Continued Business and Planning Act 2020 The Business and Planning Act 2020 introduced a significant change to the Use Classes Order. Essentially, the new regulations (effective from 1 September 2020) introduce a broad category of ‘commercial, business and service’ uses, known as Class E, along with Class F ‘community and learning’. The existing Classes A1 to A5, B1, D1 and D2 are revoked. The new Class E effectively amalgamates the existing Class A1 (retail), Class A2 (financial and professional services), A3 (restaurants/cafes), B1 (offices) along with health/medical uses, creches, nurseries (all formerly D1 uses) and indoor sports/recreation (formerly D2 use). Permission is not required to change between any of the uses within the new Class E. Class F1 – learning and non-residential institutions This includes educational establishments, museums, galleries (display not sale), libraries, exhibition hall/public hall, place of worship or religious institution, law courts.

Comments Energy Performance Certificate (EPCs) An EPC is broadly like the labels provided with domestic appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. Its purpose is to record how energy efficient a property is as a building. The certificate will provide a rating of the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of a building from A to G, where A is very efficient, and G is inefficient. The data required to allow the calculation of an EPC includes the age and construction of the building, its insulation and heating method. EPCs are produced using standard methods with standard assumptions about energy usage so that the energy efficiency of one building can easily be compared with another building of the same type. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires that all buildings have an EPC when they are marketed for sale or for let, or when houses are newly built. EPCs are valid for 10 years, or until a newer EPC is prepared. During this period the EPC may be made available to buyers or new tenants.
