Decision details

(1) That 2 non-immediate Article 4 Directions be confirmed to withdraw Part 1, Class B and C PD rights in the Petts Wood Area of Special Residential Character and withdraw Part 1, Class C PD rights in the Chislehurst Road Conservation Area, coming into force on 19^th July 2022; these PD rights are currently granted by the GPDO. The areas covered by the Directions are shown on the maps at Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 to the report.

(2) That the making of a direction to cancel the existing Article 4 Direction which removes Part 1, Class B and C PD rights on front roofslopes in the Petts Wood ASRC be endorsed; the timing of this cancellation will be aligned with the date when the new direction comes into force, so as to avoid any gap in coverage of the directions.

The report recommended that two non-immediate Article 4 Directions are confirmed to withdraw permitted development (PD) rights which allow various alterations to the roof of a dwellinghouse without planning permission. These Directions withdraw Part 1, Class B and C PD rights in the Petts Wood Area of Special Residential Character as shown in the Bromley Local Plan (January 2019), and withdraw Part 1, Class C PD rights in the Chislehurst Road Conservation Area (based on the boundary prior to recent changes). The Directions  replace an existing Direction which removes these PD rights on front roofslopes only.

In line with the requirements of legislation, representations on the proposed Directions were sought, but no representations were received. These Directions will come into force on 19 July 2022.
