(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends, in relation to England, Part 31 of Schedule 2 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (S.I. 1995/418) (“the Principal Order”).
Regulation 2(2) provides that demolition of certain unlisted etc. buildings in conservation areas is not permitted development for the purposes of the Principal Order – such demolition will require planning permission.
Regulation 2(3) provides that the demolition of a scheduled monument or listed building is permitted development, but is not subject to the conditions under Part 31 of the Principal Order. It should be noted that the demolition of a scheduled ancient monument will usually require consent under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 and the demolition of a listed building will usually require consent under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
