Article 4 Direction–removal of permitted development rights to change of use from Class E (commercial class) to C3 (residential)
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: For Determination
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
The report recommends that a non-immediate
Article 4 direction be introduced to remove permitted development
rights for changes of use from Class E to
residential on protected employment sites set out in BLP Policy
ED2. Following
Cabinet's approval, this would be subject to public consultation
for at least 28 days
and it is anticipated that a report would then be taken back to
Cabinet to confirm
the Article 4 direction. The Article 4 would then come into force
12 month's after
initial publication of the notice.
Decision:
AGREED: That Cabinet noted the report and:
i) Agreed a non-immediate Article 4 direction be made to remove the permitted development rights (within Schedule 2 of the General Permitted Development Order 2015 (as amended)) to change use from Class E (commercial, business or service) to C3 (residential) on protected employment sites as shown in Appendix B and to prepare and undertake a public consultation.
ii) Delegated authority to the Assistant Director of Planning in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning, Legal and Asset Management, to approve and publish any minor changes to the Article 4 direction and supporting documents, prior to its publication.
iii) Agreed that the Article 4 direction would be taken back to Cabinet after consultation following a review of the responses received, for a decision on whether it can be confirmed.
