Live/work units
Series: Estates Gazette ; (0438) 18 September 2004 50(1)Publication details: 2004Subject(s): Summary: Tenants of live/work units are not required to work in them, according to a recent county court ruling. In a decision that one landlord argued made a mockery of the planning law, a judge sitting in Central London County Court said the term live/work was vague and ambiguous and should be interpreted broadly to mean live and/or work. However this could mean that instead of placing conditions upon the live/work user, councils may be reluctant to grant planning permission in the first place.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
