Report of the Director of the Built Environment.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment regarding approval of a non-immediate Article 4 Direction to remove permitted development rights for the change of use of offices (Class E(g)(i)) to residential (Class C3).

Officers highlighted a typographical error on the title of the order at appendix 1, in that the date on the printed and published version was 2021 when it should read 2015. Officers highlighted that this was a legalistic document and the first stage in a process to replace the City’s existing direction.

RESOLVED – That, the Committee approve the making of a non-immediate Article 4 Direction for the whole of the City of London, removing permitted development rights granted by Class MA, Part 3 of Schedule 2 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development etc.) (England) (Amendment) Order 2021 for the change of use of a building or any land within its curtilage from offices (Use Class E(g)(i)) to residential (Use Class C3), as set out in Appendix 1 to this report
