Decision details

This report sets out the case for an Article 4 Direction to be made within Wallington Conservation Area in accordance with the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (As Amended).

This report seeks authorisation for an Article 4 Direction to be made for the Wallington Conservation Area in accordance with The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (As Amended).

The use of Article 4 Directions in the conservation area was recommended in the conservation area character appraisal and management strategy that was adopted on 12^th May 2014. At that meeting the Council's Executive resolved that the making of an Article 4 Direction in the above conservation area should be supported. This report recommends the use of an Article 4 Direction to conserve the character and appearance of the conservation area; it specifies which permitted development rights are to be removed and which buildings it is proposed that they apply to. The report recommends the use of the non-immediate procedure which includes a period of public consultation prior to the Article 4 Direction being confirmed by the Council and coming into force. Any representations received will be reported back to the Executive Member for Planning and Development to be taken into account in deciding if the Article 4 Direction should be confirmed.

That authorisation is given for an Article 4 Direction to be made in accordance with the non-immediate procedure set out in The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) at Wallington Conservation Area and as set out in this report.
