Permitted Use

What can I use the property leased from the Council for?

Your lease will state what the property can be used for.

The District Council tries to maintain a balance of trade across its units but it does not grant sole trading rights to any tenant. 

I want to change or extend the permitted use of my business. What do I do?

If you want to extend or change the use you need to make a written request to Corporate Property stating the changes you wish to make.

Please send this to: Newark and Sherwood District Council, Castle House, Great North Road, 
Newark on Trent, Nottinghamshire, NG24 1BY or email property@newark-sherwooddc.gov.uk

Your request will be considered and the decision dependent on several factors, including whether your lease permits the use to be changed and whether there will be a conflict with the use of adjacent occupiers.

Please note, you will be liable for the Council's professional fees associated with any request whether or not matters proceed to completion.
