The Directions will replace existing Directions which remove office to residential PD rights in these areas; these existing Directions will lapse on 31 July 2022.

In line with the requirements of legislation, representations on the proposed Directions were sought, but no representations were received. The six Directions come into force on 27 July 2022.
