Use of premises for Day Care of Children Subject No: 11 Subject: Use of premises for Day Care of Children Question: Does the use of a premises for the Day Care of Children constitute a change of use under the Building Regulations? Answer: If no building work is being proposed, a change of use application under the Building Regulations would only be required if the day care accommodation exceeds 50m² in area (refer table D1 of Approved Document B1 -notes). If the day care accommodation is being physically separated from the original use, then a change of use (case 5e) will apply requiring a Building Regulation application. NB: the Dorset Fire and Rescue Service as Agents for the relevant Unitary Authority Social Services should be consulted for other Fire Safety advice.
