Article 4 directions

Certain types of work or certain types of development can be undertaken without needing to apply for planning permission. These are called "permitted development rights" and are set out in The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015. They derive from a general planning permission granted not by the local authority but by Parliament.

Waverley has confirmed an immediate article 4 direction to remove permitted development rights that allow the change of use from commercial uses to residential in the commercial area of Beacon Hill.

The article 4 direction was made on 2 August 2022.
