The listed use class is E(c) within the retail sector. Since the 2020 Use Classes Order many commercial, business and service uses sit within Class E and can change without a planning application, but sui generis uses (such as drinking establishments, hot food takeaways and cinemas) do not. Confirm the permitted use and any restrictive covenants with the local planning authority before signing.
