Just a thought
But if the developers are buying the premises as a going concern then I believe they have to run the place for at least 2 years before they can apply for a change of purpose on the property. If enough people add this to the council planning application it can force the application to be refused...


(obviously I know nothing about the application that has been put in)

From what I've heard
(and it's all 2nd-hand, admittedly), the developers apparently plan to buy it from the management and run it into the ground, so that by the time they're allowed to apply for changes, nobody will give a shit.

but as long as you are all still drinking in there
the change of use will be refused as it is a viable business...

I'd like an internet answer on a few things
say I start a buisness about research into waste, can I buy all my food and count it as a buisness expense because I'm going to use that waste to do "research" on.

Business expences are brilliant, play your cards right *wink wink* and all your outgoings can be shoehorned in as expenses
*disclaimer* dependant on solid accountancy advise and the nature of the enterprise that you're running
