He needed more space and obtained planning permission initially for a double garage; he then applied for a 'change of use’ to an architect’s studio. Permission was granted personal to the architect which is not unusual; this means that once the architect ceases to work from the studio the permission expires.

It is important that the office use doesn’t generate a large amount of traffic in a residential area.
