Spec Continued Business and Planning Act 2020 The Business and Planning Act 2020 introduced a significant change to the Use Classes Order. Essentially, the new regulations (effective from 1 September 2020) introduce a broad category of ‘commercial, business and service’ uses, known as Class E, along with Class F ‘community and learning’. The existing Classes A1 to A5, B1, D1 and D2 are revoked. The new Class E effectively amalgamates the existing Class A1 (retail), Class A2 (financial and professional services), A3 (restaurants/cafes), B1 (offices) along with health/medical uses, creches, nurseries (all formerly D1 uses) and indoor sports/recreation (formerly D2 use). Permission is not required to change between any of the uses within the new Class E. Class F1 – learning and non-residential institutions This includes educational establishments, museums, galleries (display not sale), libraries, exhibition hall/public hall, place of worship or religious institution, law courts.
