And what is a B56 application? asked your councillors!

We understand that it is one that can be granted immediately as a form of permitted development so long as specified aspects of it are checked first. Here is the one for the offices above Iceland to be turned into residential accommodation, and we are in contact with the county’s transport control development team.
