TCR24 Old Hatfield

Within Old Hatfield the council will permit proposals for Class A1 uses, particularly for convenience goods shopping. Proposals for change of use to Class A2 (Financial and Professional Services) and Class A3 (Food and Drink) will only be permitted where this would not result in the loss of a Class A1 retail unit.

Proposals for change of use to Class B1 Business use will be permitted provided that:

  • The proposal would be at first floor level or higher; and
  • It would not lead to the loss of a Class A1, A2 or A3 use; and
  • It would not involve the loss of residential accommodation.
