RESOLVED:

That three Article 4 Directions that will withdraw the permitted development right which allows A1 shops to change to A2 financial and professional services without planning permission, be agreed. The three Directions will come into force on 26 May 2017 and cover the following areas:

 

(i)            Town Centres;

(ii)           Local Shopping Areas; and

(iii)          The rest of the borough, i.e. any area not designated as a Town Centre or Local Shopping Area.

Reasons for decision – To ensure proposals for A1 to A2 PD change of use in these areas are fully considered against adopted policies and therefore that local amenity and wellbeing considerations are properly taken into account.

Other options considered – none other than as specified in the report

Conflicts of interest / dispensations granted – none.
