EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (“the General Permitted Development Order”) (S.I. 2015/596).
Article 3 applies where a proposed enlargement of a dwellinghouse is joined to an existing enlargement pursuant to planning permission granted by Class A of Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the General Permitted Development Order. It amends the wording of that Order to make clear that restrictions apply to the size of the total enlargement (i.e. the proposed enlargement together with the existing enlargement).
Article 4 extends from one to two academic years the period for which a building may be used as a state-funded school under Class C of Part 4 of Schedule 2 to the General Permitted Development Order.
Article 5 introduces a new permitted development right to provide a temporary state-funded school for up to three academic years on a site which was previously used for specified commercial purposes but on which all buildings have been demolished.
Article 6 removes certain restrictions relating to floor space and distance from the boundary of the curtilage where schools are developed under Class M of Part 7 of Schedule 2 to the General Permitted Development Order.
Article 7 makes a number of miscellaneous amendments.
Article 8 makes transitional purposes where development took place or was notified to the local planning authority before the entry into force of this Order.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no significant impact on the public, private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
