Planning permission for day nurseries
Hours of operation Clients will not need planning permission to use a building as a Nursery, as long as the current use is lawfully within the D1 use class. 
When checking that the building use is lawful, clients should at the same time check to see if there are any planning conditions, preventing or restricting the use of the building. Examples of these conditions may include:
Limits on opening hours
Limiting the use of premises to one specific D1 use, such as a Doctors Surgery, but prohibiting changes to any other uses within the D1 class
Planning permission that has expired i.e in three years
Most Nursery proposals will require planning permission as they would be more likely to alter the character of the building and produce an impact on the area. 
The following issues provide a brief outline of what could be required in order to comply with planning legislation:
- Travel, parking and visitors
- Noise
-  Numbers of children
-  Outdoor play areas
-  Hours of operation
-  Council Policies
