    Procedure

    The change of use - even without structural changes - is subject to a building permit if the public building law imposes different or more far-reaching requirements on the building in the new use. This is usually the case. The procedure is the same as for the approval of new buildings.

    In the case of changes of use that lead to the construction becoming a special building in accordance with § 2 (5) of the Lower Saxony Building Code (NBauO), an extensive building permit procedure must be carried out in accordance with § 64 NBauO.

    For the remaining changes of use, a simple building permit procedure must be carried out in accordance with § 63 NBauO.
