Councils 'resist' turning empty offices into homes | Money | The Guardian
The government is facing calls to make it easier to turn unused offices into homes. Chartered surveyors Cluttons reckons local authorities are making it difficult to create residential properties.
Cluttons said the chancellor, George Osborne, had pledged to allow owners of offices to transform unwanted space into homes without applying for consent from local councils but councils are resisting the measures.
It said councils had lobbied to ensure the changes were not put in place through secondary legislation with which they would have had to comply. Cluttons has produced data showing that although 82% of such conversions in London were granted permission between 2001 and 2010, they were now being reversed
