The report recommended that the Council should confirm sixteen non-immediate Article 4 directions to withdraw permitted development rights which allow certain buildings to extend upwards by up to two storeys to provide new or extended residential units. The Directions apply to the thirteen Areas of Special Residential Character in the Bromley Local Plan and to three other discrete areas which fall within local views.
