520			_aArgues that proposed changes to the use classes order will slow down the development process and possibly damage regional economies. The review of the use classes order prepared by Baker Associates and published by the DTLR proposes that B1(c) - light industrial uses - should be separated from other B1 uses; and that permitted development rights for changes from this new class, and general industrial (B2), to office (B1(a)), should be removed. Potential problems with the changes include an additional layer of planning control to business decisions for new office space; greater town-centre commuter traffic congestion as offices are forced back into town centres; and risk of buildings sitting empty if they do not get change-of-use permission. Concludes that the property industry should make its objections known to government if the proposals go to consultation.
