PDF 112 KBDecision Maker: Cabinet Member for Built Environment
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
Report to agree withdrawal of Article 4
Direction to suspend permitted development rights for change of use
from office to residential
Decision:
That the Cabinet Member resolves to withdraw the Direction made under Article 4(1) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 relating to the restriction of change of use between Office (B1) and Residential (C3) within the Central Activities Zone in the City of Westminster.
The Article 4 Direction now duplicates a power conferred on the Council by the Government’s extension of the exemption of Westminster’s Central Activities Zone from the permitted development right to change the use from B1(a) office to C3 dwellinghouse. The Article 4 was made prior to the extension of the exemption, and is therefore no longer necessary at this stage.
