Article 3 Restrictions on Permitted Development

Permitted Development (or Permitted Development Rights)

Permission to carry out certain limited forms of development without the need to make an application to a local planning authority, as granted under the terms of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order.

In certain cases when approving planning applications the Borough Council will remove permitted development rights by imposing planning conditions on the approval to afford future control over development that would normally not need planning permission.

  • Rights to extend buildings
  • Rights to erect outbuildings
  • Rights to erect fences or walls
  • Rights restricting the use of garages
  • Restriction of future use

These rights are removed to ensure the development accords with Policies in the Replacement Local Plan, e.g Policy BE.1.
