12 Proposed Changes to National Permitted Development Rights PDF 127 KB
Minutes:
The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, Enterprise, Community and Resources, which provided an update on imminent changes to planning regulations which gave greater freedoms for certain forms of development to be undertaken without planning permission. It was noted that there was a legal challenge to both the General Permitted Development Order (GPDO) and Use Classes Order (UCO) changes.
It was
noted that the new planning regulations came into force on 31 August 2020 to
further extend national Permitted Development Rights, as described in the
report. The Government’s aim through
these changes was to ‘‘boost housing
delivery’’.
It was agreed that the document would be shared with Development Control Committee prior to its next meeting.
RESOLVED: That the proposed changes to national permitted development rights that allow certain types of development without the need to apply for planning consent be noted.
