b any particular development, falling within that Part, Class or paragraph, which is specified in the direction,

and the direction must specify that it is made under this paragraph.

2 The mineral planning authority may make a direction under this article if they are satisfied that it is expedient that the development, or any part of it, should not be carried out unless permission for it is granted on an application because—

a the land on which the development is to be carried out is within—

i a National Park;

ii an area of outstanding natural beauty;

iii a site of archaeological interest, and the operation to be carried out is not one described in the Schedule to the Areas of Archaeological Importance (Notification of Operations) (Exemption) Order 1984 (exempt operations) ^M33;

iv a site of special scientific interest; or

v the Broads;

aa in the case of development otherwise permitted under Class KA, the land on which the development is to be carried out is within a protected groundwater source area (as defined in Class JA of Part 17 of Schedule 2);

b the development, either taken by itself or taken in conjunction with other development which is already being carried out in the area or in respect of which notification has been given under the provisions of Class K , KA or M of Part 17 of Schedule 2 would cause serious detriment to the amenity of the area in which it is to be carried out or would adversely affect the setting of a Grade I listed building;

6 Directions: general¶

Any power conferred by this Order to give a direction includes power to cancel or vary the direction by a subsequent direction.

7 Prior approval applications: time periods for decision¶

Where, in relation to development permitted by any Class in Schedule 2 which is expressed to be subject to prior approval, an application has been made to a local planning authority for such approval or a determination as to whether such approval is required, the decision in relation to the application must be made by the authority—

a within the period specified in the relevant provision of Schedule 2,

b where no period is specified, within a period of 8 weeks beginning with the day immediately following that on which the application is received by the authority, or

7ZA Prior approval applications: modified procedure in relation to call-in of applications¶

1 This article applies where the Secretary of State is considering exercising the power under section 77(1) of the Act (reference of applications to Secretary of State) in relation to a prior approval application.

2 Where this article applies, the Secretary of State must give notice in writing (“the pause notice”) to the relevant local planning authority stating that the Secretary of State is considering exercising the power.

3 Where the Secretary of State decides not to exercise the power the Secretary of State must give notice in writing to the local planning authority to that effect (“the release notice”).

4 Subject to paragraph (5), the local planning authority must take no further action in relation to that prior approval application from the date it receives the pause notice until the day after the date on which—

a it receives the release notice; or

b the Secretary of State makes a direction under section 77(1) of the Act in relation to the application (“the call-in direction”).

5 Where the local planning authority has not satisfied a consultation and notification provision at the date it receives the pause notice—

a such provision continues to apply to the local planning authority whether or not the Secretary of State makes a call-in direction in relation to the prior approval application in question; and

b the local planning authority must inform the Secretary of State as soon as they have satisfied that provision.

6 Where the Secretary of State gives a pause notice, the period—

a beginning with the day after the date on which the Secretary of State gives the pause notice; and

b ending on the day after the date on which the Secretary of State gives the release notice,

shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating any time period for decision under article 7.

7 Where the Secretary of State makes a call-in direction in relation to a prior approval application the provisions of Schedule 2 (except a consultation and notification provision) apply to such an application as if the references to a local planning authority were to the Secretary of State.

8 Where the Secretary of State makes a call-in direction in relation to a prior approval application any deemed prior approval provision shall have no effect in relation to such an application.

9 In this article—

“consultation and notification provision” means a provision in Schedule 2 in relation to a prior approval application which requires the local planning authority to—
1. give notice of a proposed development;
2. consult in relation to a proposed development; and/or
3. give notice to consultees;
“deemed prior approval provision” means a provision in Schedule 2 in reliance on which, after the expiry of a time period for decision under article 7 where the application has not been determined, development may begin; and
“prior approval application” has the same meaning as in section 69A(2) of the Act.

7A Review¶

1 The Secretary of State must from time to time—

a carry out a review of articles 1 to 7ZA;

b set out the conclusions of the review in a report; and

c publish the report.

2 The report must in particular—

a set out the objectives intended to be achieved by the regulatory system established by those articles;

b assess the extent to which those objectives are achieved; and

c assess whether those objectives remain appropriate and, if so, the extent to which they could be achieved with a system that imposes less regulation.

3 The first report under this article must be published before the end of the period of five years beginning with 6th April 2016.

4 Reports under this article are afterwards to be published at intervals not exceeding five years.

8 Revocations and saving¶

Article 4

1 Procedure for article 4(1) directions without immediate effect¶

1 Subject to paragraph 2, notice of any direction made under article 4(1) of this Order must, as soon as practicable after the direction has been made, be given by the local planning authority—

a by local advertisement;

b by site display at no fewer than 2 locations within the area to which the direction relates, or, if the direction is made under article 4(1)(b), on the site of the particular development to which the direction relates, for a period of not less than 6 weeks; and

c subject to sub-paragraph (2), by serving the notice on the owner and occupier of every part of the land within the area or site to which the direction relates.

2 In a case where this paragraph applies, the local planning authority need not serve notice on an owner or occupier in accordance with sub-paragraph (1)(c), if they consider that—

a individual service on that owner or occupier is impracticable because it is difficult to identify or locate that person or

b the number of owners or occupiers within the area to which the direction relates makes individual service impracticable.

3 Sub-paragraph (2) does not apply where the owner or occupier is a statutory undertaker or the Crown.

4 The notice referred to in sub-paragraph (1) must—

a include a description of the development and the area to which the direction relates, or the site to which it relates, as the case may be, and a statement of the effect of the direction;

b specify that the direction is made under article 4(1) of this Order;

c name a place where a copy of the direction, and a copy of a map defining the area to which it relates, or the site to which it relates, as the case may be, may be seen at all reasonable hours;

d specify a period of at least 21 days, stating the date on which that period begins, within which any representations concerning the direction may be made to the local planning authority; and

e specify the date on which it is proposed that the direction will come into force, which must be at least 28 days but no longer than 2 years after the date referred to in paragraph (d).

5 Where a notice given by site display is, without any fault or intention of the local planning authority, removed, obscured or defaced before the period referred to in sub-paragraph (4)(d) has elapsed, the authority is treated as having complied with the requirements of that paragraph if they have taken reasonable steps for the protection of the notice, including, if need be, its replacement.

6 The local planning authority must send a copy of the direction and the notice under sub-paragraph (1), including a copy of a map defining the area to which it relates, or the site to which it relates, as the case may be, to the Secretary of State on the same day that notice of the direction is first published or displayed in accordance with sub-paragraph (1).

7 The direction comes into force in respect of any part of the land within the area to which it relates on the date specified in accordance with sub-paragraph (4)(e) but does not come into force unless confirmed by the local planning authority in accordance with sub-paragraphs (9) and (10).

8 On making a direction under article 4(1)—

a a county planning authority must give notice of it to any district planning authority in whose district the area or part of the area to which the direction relates is situated; and

b except in metropolitan districts, a district planning authority must give notice of it to the county planning authority, if any.

9 In deciding whether to confirm a direction made under article 4(1), the local planning authority must take into account any representations received during the period specified in accordance with sub-paragraph (4)(d).

10 The local planning authority must not confirm a direction until after the expiration of—

a a period of at least 28 days following the latest date on which any notice relating to the direction was served or published; or

b such longer period as may be specified by the Secretary of State following the notification by the local planning authority to the Secretary of State of the direction.

11 The local planning authority must, as soon as practicable after a direction has been confirmed—

a give notice of such confirmation and the date on which the direction will come into force; and

b send a copy of the direction as confirmed to the Secretary of State.

Explanatory Note¶

(This note is not part of the Order)

This instrument consolidates with amendments, in relation to England, the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 and subsequent amending instruments and revokes in relation to England the instruments listed in Schedule 4.

The main purpose of this Order is to grant planning permission for certain classes of development without the requirement for a planning application to be made under Part 3 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (c. 8). Schedule 2 to this Order sets out these classes of development in detail. The planning permissions granted by this Order are subject to the provisions of this Order (in particular article 3 which places restrictions where the development in question is EIA development under the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2011 (S.I. 2011/1824), or subject to regulations 73 to 76 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/490)).

Article 4 permits local planning authorities and the Secretary of State to direct that any or particular development permitted under article 3 is not to apply in relation to a specified area (and Schedule 3 sets out the procedures in relation to article 4 directions).

Article 5 permits local planning authorities, following a notification from a developer, to direct that certain minerals development permitted under article 3 is not to apply. Article 6 makes general provision in relation to directions. Article 7 provides that where a period for determining a prior approval is not specified in any class in Schedule 2 then the period shall be 8 weeks.

Article 8 includes a saving provision in relation to development referred to in article 6 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Amendment) (England) Order 2015. The saving provision is to cease to have effect 3 years after this Order comes into force.

In addition to minor changes the Order makes a number of other changes. The main changes made by this Order are as follows:

— the date for the expiry of the time-limited permitted development right for larger home extensions (in Class A of Part 1 of Schedule 2) has been extended, it now expires in May 2019;
— the previously time-limited permitted development rights for extensions to non-domestic premises (offices, shops, industrial buildings and schools etc) have been made permanent (Part 7 of Schedule 2);
— a number of new permitted development rights have been inserted in Part 3 of Schedule 2 (changes of use): the conversion of retail premises to restaurants / cafes (Class C); the existing permitted development to convert a shop to a deposit-taker is replaced by a wider right to convert a shop (or a betting office) to a premises providing financial and professional services (Classes D and F); the conversion of retail premises to assembly and leisure (Class J); the conversion of casinos or amusement arcades to dwellinghouses (Class N); and the conversion of premises used from storage or distribution centre uses to dwellinghouses (Class P);
— a new permitted development right for temporary use of building and land for commercial film-making has been inserted in Part 4 of Schedule 2;
— a new permitted development right has been included for the provision of click and collection facilities within the curtilage of a shop and for increasing the size of loading bays for shops and permitted development for the extension etc of buildings used for waste facilities (see Classes C, D and L of Part 7 of Schedule 2); and
— a new permitted development right for the installation of solar PV panels, with a generating capacity of up to 1 megawatt, on the roofs of non-domestic buildings (see Class J(c) of Part 14 of Schedule 2).

Some permitted development rights require prior approval of the local planning authority. The following table sets out a summary of the prior approval requirements.
