(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends, in England, Part 3 of Schedule 2 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (S.I. 1995/418). Part 3 sets out permitted development rights in relation to certain changes of use, the effect of which is that those changes of use are granted planning permission without the need for a planning application.
Class F of Part 3 permits buildings used as shops, or for financial and professional services, to change to a mixed use incorporating a single residential flat, subject to conditions. Class G permits such mixed use buildings to revert back to single use.
This Order amends Classes F and G to extend the permitted development right and reversion to a mixed use incorporating up to two residential flats.
An impact assessment has been prepared in relation to this Order. The assessment has been placed in the Library of each House of Parliament and copies may be obtained from the Department for Communities and Local Government, Bressenden Place, London, SW1E 5DU or from the Department's website: http://www.communities.gov.uk.
