Pub, bar or restaurant?

Negus, R.

Pub, bar or restaurant? - 2004 - Journal of Retail and Leisure Property 3(4) 2004, 326-330(5) .

Focuses on the proposed changes to the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 and permitted development rights affecting use class A3 (pubs and restaurants). Identifies some of the practical difficulties in differentiating the new use classes and highlights some of the operational and property issues affecting land-use categories and their likely impact on property and rental values. Concludes that businesses offering food and drink, and more particularly dining and vertical drinking areas, should fall within the same use class category: pub, bar, restaurant. While the government review may have addressed changes of use to less desirable uses, pub, bar and restaurant operators now have to worry about breaching planning when licensing laws already exist to control their use.
