City of London - DM 1.1 Protection of Office Accommodation

Policy information sourced from City of London Local Plan

DM 1.1 Protection of Office Accommodation

To refuse the loss of existing (B1) office accommodation to other uses where the building or its site is considered to be suitable for long-term viable office use and there are strong economic reasons why the loss would be inappropriate. Losses would be inappropriate for any of the following reasons:

prejudicing the primary business function of the City;
jeopardising the future assembly and delivery of large office development sites;
removing existing stock for which there is demand in the office market or long term viable need;
introducing uses that adversely affect the existing beneficial mix of commercial uses.
