Why this is being asked
Hundreds of ground floors are already used as shops without a licence. Residents report noise and parking pressure; shopkeepers report that they cannot get finance or register without one. A licensing route would bring them into the rules rather than leave them outside them.
What will be done with the result
RAJUK will read the result before drafting the licence conditions. Because the change touches building control and trade licensing, the final rule is made by the board, not by this poll.
