EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (“the 1995 Order”). The 1995 Order confers permitted development rights in respect of certain development. Where such rights apply, no specific application for planning permission is needed.
Article 2 adds World Heritage Sites to the list of land in Part 2 of Schedule 1 to the 1995 Order (known as “article 1(5) land”). The 1995 Order confers a more restricted set of permitted development rights in relation to article 1(5) land. Articles 2(2) and 2(4) make consequential amendments.
Article 3 and the Schedule substitute a new Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the 1995 Order. Part 1 of Schedule 2 confers permitted development rights in relation to development within the curtilage of a dwellinghouse. The new Part 1 of Schedule 2 makes changes to the permitted development rights in relation to the enlargement, improvement or alteration of a dwellinghouse (Class A); the enlargement of a dwellinghouse consisting of an addition or alteration to its roof (Class B); any other alteration to the roof of a dwellinghouse (Class C); the provision within the curtilage of any building, enclosure, pool or container (Class E); and the provision within the curtilage of a hard surface (Class F). The previous Class G (erection or provision within the curtilage of a container) is subsumed within the new Class E. A new Class G confers permitted development rights in relation to the installation, alteration or replacement of a chimney, flue or soil and vent pipe. Classes D (erection or construction of a porch) and H (installation, alteration or replacement of a microwave antenna) are unchanged.
Article 4 amends the restrictions in Class A of Part 40 of Schedule 2 to the 1995 Order on the installation of solar photovoltaics or solar thermal equipment on a dwellinghouse or a building within its curtilage.
An impact assessment has been prepared in relation to this Order. The assessment has been placed in the Library of each House of Parliament and copies may be obtained from the Department for Communities and Local Government, Bressenden Place, London, SW1E 5DU (Telephone 020 7944 8716).
