Article 3 Restrictions / Permitted Development
Article 3 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (‘the GPDO’) grants Permitted Development Rights. These allow certain types of development to take place without the need to apply for planning permission.
In relation to the County Council’s role as planning authority, only a small number of different types of permitted development are particularly relevant. Examples include permitted development rights for development by the council itself; as highway authority; development ancillary to mining operations; mineral exploration; and development at schools.
Article 3 also imposes some restrictions on permitted development rights. These are detailed and complex, but as an example permitted development rights are restricted where the development would require Environmental Impact Assessment.
In addition, when granting planning permission for developments, such as a quarry for example, the Council can impose a condition on the permission which removes any applicable permitted development rights and means planning applications must be made for any further developments.
As this area of planning is rather complex and detailed, it is suggested you contact the Planning Control team if you have any specific queries about this matter, at plancontrol@cheshire.gov.uk or by phone on Tel No: 01244 603135
