Article 3 - Restrictions on permitted development rights
Permitted development rights are provided by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 to allow certain types of development to proceed without the need for a planning application - Article 3 is the removal of these rights.
The removal of these rights takes place where an environmental impact assessment is required or to protect sensitive environments. It is advisable that you check with the relevant local authority before any work commences to find out if your development requires planning permission.
