DEVELOPMENT
NOT DEVELOPMENT
Requires planning permission
Does NOT require planning permission
  • Some external alterations
  • e.g. (normally, but not always) tvaerial,
    cat-flap, letterbox, drainpipe, etc
  • Non-material change of use
  • e.g. bedroom into kitchen, baker into grocer, etc
  • Internal alterations
  • e.g. internal walls, floors, ceilings, curtains,
    etc
  • Most external alterations
  • e.g. extension, patio, rooflight,fences and
    walls, satellite dish, etc
  • Material change of use
  • e.g. house into two flats, shop into bank, etc

PERMITTEDDEVELOPMENT
Granted planning permission by the General
Permitted Development Order 1995 GPDO.Works
that are permitted development do NOT require a
planning application,and do NOT fall under the
control of the Councils Planning Department.

2 What does the GPDO cover ?
Section 1Legal BackgroundPage 2 of 4
  • The General Permitted Development Order 1995
    GPDO contains a number of sections, from Part 1
    to Part 40, each containing a number of Classes
    of development for which it grants planning
    permission.
  • Many of these Parts relate to works by statutory
    undertakers. For example, the GPDO allows
    Councils, highways authorities, railway
    operators, sewerage undertakers, etc, to install
    things such as lampposts, bus shelters, telephone
    kiosks, rubbish bins, signs, utility pipes, etc,
    without requiring a planning application.
  • This document looks at Part 1 of the GPDO, which
    relates to works to houses, and is the Part meant
    when most people talk about permitted
    development.

6
2 What does Part 1 of the GPDO cover ?
Section 1Legal BackgroundPage 3 of 4
  • Part 1 of the GPDO
  • APPLIES to houses (dwellinghouses).
  • Does NOT apply to flats (either purpose built or
    converted houses).
  • Does NOT apply to commercial properties.
  • Does NOT apply to houses which have had their
    permitted development rights removed (either by
    an Article 4 Direction, or by a condition on a
    planning permission)
  • Part 1 of the GPDO contains 8 Classes, from Class
    A to Class H. These cover works such as ground
    floor extensions, roof extensions, rooflights and
    re-roofing, porches, outbuildings, hard surfaces,
    chimneys / flues / SVPs, and satellite dishes.
  • The amendment to the GPDO on 1 October 2008
    entirely replaced the previous version of Part 1.
    However, the amended legislation is still
    referred to asPart 1 of the General Permitted
    Development Order 1995 (as amended).

7
2 What is a Certificate of Lawful Development ?
Section 1Legal BackgroundPage 4 of 4
  • Works that are permitted development do NOT
    require a planning application, and do NOT fall
    under the control of the Councils Planning
    Department.
  • However, if someone undertaking such works wants
    confirmation that the works are permitted
    development, then they can apply to the Council
    for a Certificate of Lawful Development. This is
    an optional application.
  • The assessment of such an application is a
    determination in law. The Council has no
    discretion, and can not take its policies into
    consideration. If the works comply with the
    GPDO, then by law the Council must issue a
    certificate.
  • An application for a Certificate of Lawful
    Development can be made before undertaking such
    works (proposed) or after undertaking such works
    (existing).
  • The London Borough of Lambeth strongly recommends
    that people apply for such a Certificate of
    Lawful Development before undertaking substantial
    works. However, it is an optional application,
    and many people choose not to make it.

Section 2 What works can be doneunder
permitted development? Part 1, Classes A to H

2 OVERVIEWIntroduction
Section 2Part 1, Classes A to HPage 1 of 23
  • This section starts with an illustration of how a
    house can be significantly altered and extended
    under permitted development (Part 1 of the GPDO).
  • This illustration imagines an owner who wishes to
    maximise the size of his house, with little
    regard to the aesthetics of the outside of the
    house.
  • All of the works shown would comply with the
    amended GPDO, and would therefore be outside of
    the control of the Councils Planning Department.
  • Although this illustration represents an
    extreme example of what an owner could lawfully
    do under permitted development, it is not
    unrealistic, as examples of such types of works
    can be found in real life.

2 DETAILSIntroduction
Section 2Part 1, Classes A to HPage 6 of 23
  • The remaining part of this section details the
    work that is permitted by each of the 8 Classes
    of the amended Part 1 (Classes A to H).
  • For each Class, there is an illustration showing
    examples of what is permitted, together with
    annotations stating the limitations of that
    Class. This is then followed by an explanation
    of how the amended Class differs from the
    previous Class.
  • Please note that this is an introductory guide,
    and should not be used as a definitive source of
    legal information. The assessment of whether or
    not works would be permitted development should
    always be made against the full legislation
    itself (see links to the GPDO at the end of this
    presentation), rather than against any guidance
    document.

Section 3 What are the problemswith the
amended legislation? Examples of Ambiguities
33
2 AMBIGUITIESIntroduction
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 1 of 19
  • This section gives examples of some of the
    problems with the amended legislation, including
    phrases that are ambiguous and difficult for
    local authorities to know how to interpret.
  • For each of the examples in this section, the
    first page sets out the Legislation,
    Scenario, and Question, whilst the second
    page sets out the Answer. These answers are
    based, wherever possible, on guidance from CLG
    and on relevant appeal decisions across the
    country, which the London Borough of Lambeth has
    been actively monitoring. However, for some
    questions, the answer is unknown, as no such
    guidance has been available.
  • The 9 examples given in this section represent
    only a small number of the ambiguities within the
    amended legislation. In October 2008, November
    2008, and January 2009, the London Borough of
    Lambeth sent a 60-page document to Communities
    and Local Government (who produced the
    legislation) raising almost 50 questions about
    ambiguities.
  • Please note that this document was written in
    July 2009, and therefore the answers given only
    represent the position of the London Borough of
    Lambeth at that time. This is because the London
    Borough of Lambeth is continuing to actively
    monitor guidance from CLG and relevant appeal
    decisions across the country, and therefore its
    position on such issues is liable to be updated
    as and when additional information becomes
    available.

34
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 1The principal elevation
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 2 of 19
  • LEGISLATION
  • Under Class B, a roof extension is NOT permitted
    on a roof slope which forms the principal
    elevation and fronts a highway.
  • However, a roof extension IS permitted on a side
    elevation.
  • SCENARIO
  • A house is on a corner such that two of its
    elevations front a highway.
  • One of these elevations contains the main
    windows, the other contains the front door.
  • QUESTION
  • For the above house, on which of these two
    elevations would a roof extension be permitted
    development ?

35
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 1The principal elevation
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 3 of 19
  • ANSWER
  • The Informal Views from CLG document confirms
    that, although most properties will only have one
    principal elevation, in exceptional
    circumstances a property might have more than one
    principal elevation.
  • Hence, for the above corner house, where one
    elevation contains the main windows and the other
    elevation contains the front door, it is possible
    that BOTH elevations would be classed as the
    principal elevation. Hence a roof extension
    would NOT be permitted on either elevation.
  • For a more typical corner house, where the main
    windows and front door are on the same elevation,
    it is likely there will only be one principal
    elevation, and therefore a side dormer would be
    permitted.

36
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 2Basements
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 4 of 19
  • LEGISLATION
  • Class A permits, the enlargement, improvement or
    other alteration ofa dwellinghouse, subject to
    various limitations.
  • None of these limitations mentions or restricts
    the excavation of a basement.
  • SCENARIO
  • A typical house.
  • QUESTION
  • For a typical house, would the excavation of a
    basement be permitted development ?

37
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 2Basements
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 5 of 19
  • ANSWER
  • Unknown. (No guidance has been provided).
  • Under the previous Class A, most Councils
    interpreted the (same) phrase the enlargement
    of a dwellinghouse to include the excavation of
    a basement.
  • However, CLG have indicated that they intend to
    create a new Class specifically relating to
    basements.
  • The London Borough of Lambeth is therefore taking
    the cautious option and assuming that basements
    are NOT permitted development.

38
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 3Replacement of timber
windows with UPVC windows
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 6 of 19
  • LEGISLATION
  • Under Class A, windows can be replaced or
    inserted.
  • Condition A.3 (a) states that the materials used
    in any exterior work shall be of a similar
    appearance to those used in the construction of
    the exterior of the existing dwellinghouse.
  • SCENARIO
  • A house where all of the existing windows are
    timber.
  • QUESTION
  • For the above house, would the replacement or
    insertion of a UPVC window be permitted
    development ?

39
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 3Replacement of timber
windows with UPVC windows
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 7 of 19
  • ANSWER
  • Unknown.
  • The Informal Views from CLG document states
    that this condition does NOT mean that the type
    of material needs to be the same or similar, just
    that the appearance needs to be similar. It
    states that in some cases this condition could be
    met where a similar colour is used. However, it
    then states that this might not always be
    acceptable.
  • The above guidance still leaves it unclear in
    what circumstances the replacement of timber
    windows with UPVC windows would be acceptable or
    unacceptable.

40
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 4Rear projection limit
on stepped rear elevation
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 8 of 19
  • LEGISLATION
  • Under Class A, a ground floor extension on a
    terrace house is NOT permitted development if it
    would extend beyond the rear wall of the
    original dwellinghouse by more than 3 metres
    .
  • SCENARIO
  • A terrace house with a stepped rear elevation
    (e.g. a typical Victorian property with a rear
    return).
  • QUESTION
  • For the above house, which of the extensions
    shown on the right would be permitted development
    ?

41
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 4Rear projection limit
on stepped rear elevation
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 9 of 19
  • ANSWER
  • The Informal Views from CLG document confirms
    that where the rear elevation is stepped, then
    the rear projection limit will be stepped
    correspondingly.

42
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 5Wrapping around a
corner
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 10 of 19
  • LEGISLATION
  • Under Class A, a ground floor extension to the
    rear is limited to a 3m/4m projection beyond the
    original rear wall, and a ground floor extension
    to the side is limited to ½ the width of the
    original house.
  • SCENARIO
  • A typical detached house.
  • QUESTION
  • For the above house, which of the extensions
    shown on the right would be permitted development
    ?

43
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 5Wrapping around a
corner
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 11 of 19
  • ANSWER
  • Unknown. (No guidance has been provided).
  • The Appeal Decision for 21 Holmewood Road
    (Planning Inspectorate reference
    APP/L5240/X/09/2094733) appears to suggest that
    wrapping around a corner would NOT be permitted.
    However, the Inspector did not appear to identify
    any particular limitation to which such a scheme
    would be contrary.

44
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 6Eaves
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 12 of 19
  • LEGISLATION
  • Under Class A, a single storey extension within
    2m of the boundary is limited to a maximum height
    of 4m, and an eaves height of 3m.
  • SCENARIO
  • A typical house, where a single storey extension
    would be within 2m of the boundary.
  • QUESTION
  • For the above house, what would be the maximum
    height for a flat roof extension (either with or
    without a parapet wall) ... ?

45
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 6Eaves
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 13 of 19
  • ANSWER
  • Unknown. (No guidance has been provided).
  • Some Councils have taken the view that a flat
    roof extension does NOT have eaves, and that
    therefore the amended Class A would permit a flat
    roof extension up to 4m along the boundary.
  • The London Borough of Lambeth is taking the
    cautious option and is applying the term eaves
    to the top of a flat roof and the top of a
    parapet wall, therefore requiring these to be no
    higher than 3m.

46
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 7Between a side
elevation and a boundary
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 14 of 19
  • LEGISLATION
  • Under Class E, an outbuilding in a Conservation
    Area is NOT permitted if any part of it would be
    situated on land between a wall forming a side
    elevation of the dwellinghouse and the boundary
    of the curtilage of the dwellinghouse.
  • SCENARIO
  • A typical house in a Conservation Area
  • QUESTION
  • For the above house, which of the outbuildings
    shown on the right would be permitted development
    ?

47
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 7Between a side
elevation and a boundary
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 15 of 19
  • ANSWER
  • Unknown. (No guidance has been provided).

48
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 8A side elevation
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 16 of 19
  • LEGISLATION
  • Under Class A, a ground floor extension in a
    Conservation Area is NOT permitted if it would
    extend beyond a wall forming a side elevation of
    the original dwellinghouse.
  • SCENARIO
  • A terrace house in a Conservation Area with a
    stepped rear elevation (e.g. a typical Victorian
    property with a rear return).
  • QUESTION
  • For the above house, would the rear/side infill
    extension shown on the right be permitted
    development ?

49
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 8A side elevation
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 17 of 19
  • ANSWER
  • The Appeal Decision for 27 Upper Culver Road
    (Planning Inspectorate reference
    APP/B1930/X/08/2092380) states that the side wall
    of a rear return IS a side elevation, and
    therefore such an infill extension in a
    Conservation Area is NOT permitted development.

50
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 9Cladding
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 18 of 19
  • LEGISLATION
  • Class A, Condition A.2 (a) states that in a
    Conservation Area, the cladding of any part of
    the exterior of the dwellinghouse with stone,
    artificial stone, pebble dash, render, timber,
    plastic or tiles is NOT permitted. This implies
    that outside of a Conservation Area, cladding IS
    permitted development.
  • However, Class A, Condition A.3 (a) requires that
    the materials used in any exterior work shall
    be of a similar appearance to those used in the
    construction of the exterior of the existing
    dwellinghouse. This implies that cladding is
    NOT permitted development.
  • SCENARIO
  • A house outside of a conservation area.
  • QUESTION
  • For the above house, would cladding be permitted
    development ?

51
2 AMBIGUITIES EXAMPLE 9Cladding
Section 3Examples of AmbiguitiesPage 19 of 19
  • ANSWER
  • Unknown. (No guidance has been provided).
  • However, even if cladding is NOT allowed, the
    painting of any surface (including brickwork) is
    still permitted under Part 2.
