Issue - meetings

Members considered whether a non-immediate Article 4 Direction should be sought to withdraw permitted development rights for alterations to the front slopes of roofs of properties in the Petts Wood Area of Special Residential Character.

Ward Member and Committee Member Councillor Fawthrop, commended Mr Tim Horsman, Development Control Manager, for providing an accurate and informative report.  He explained that by the withdrawal of permitted development rights, householders would be required to obtain planning permission before installing roof lights.

Councillor Fawthrop moved that an Article 4 Direction be implemented with a 12 month delay.  He also requested information regarding the anticipated timeframe leading up to Portfolio Holder approval.  Councillor Auld seconded the motion.

RESOLVED that the Executive be requested to confirm the issue of a non-immediate Article 4 Direction withdrawing permitted development rights for front roof alterations in the Petts Wood Area of Special Residential Character with a 12 month delay.
