Decision details

That the immediate Article 4 Direction (covering the Petts Wood ASRC as shown in the plan attached at Appendix 1) to withdraw the permitted development right granted by Part 1, Class AA of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) (“the GPDO”), Schedule 2 be confirmed before 23 August 2021, to ensure that it remains in force.

Areas of Special Residential Character (ASRCs) are areas which add significant character and distinctiveness, linked to adopted policy in the Local Plan. The Article 4 Direction would help to protect this character and distinctiveness which is a positive benefit for local amenity.  In line with the requirements of legislation, representations on the proposed Directions were sought. The Council must take into account any representations made before it confirms the Article 4 Directions. No representations were received.
