Business run from home (123KB PDF)

On 27 March 2012, DCLG published the final version of the National Planning Policy Framework. It came into effect immediately, superseding the 2011 draft and all other planning guidance (except on waste).

Until then, this note may contain statements that are superseded by the new guidance.
