from residential to commercial use

[Bamhan]

Can anyone tell me what is involved in turning a town house into a boutique.
Do we have to apply for planning permission?
Just mulling over the idea at the moment as we recently purchased a three story town house and planned to do it up as accomodation but have an idea about using the ground floor as a boutique.

You'll need to apply for planning permission for change of use from residential to commercial.
