Certain types of development, subject to some conditions, do not require full planning permission from us. These are called permitted developments.
An Article 4 Direction can be used to remove specific permitted development rights in all or parts of the Sevenoaks District.
We are aware of a piece of land under threat from unlawful development on Filston Lane, Shoreham and it has been considered necessary to introduce Article 4 Directions.
There is a Direction removing permitted development rights for gates, fences and walls, means of access to a highway, temporary buildings and structures and temporary use of land. This has immediate effect.
These Directions came into force on Thursday 22 April 2021 and are proposed to be confirmed on 10 June 2021.
There is a Direction proposing to remove permitted development rights for the use of land as a caravan site and this does not take effect immediately.
It is proposed that this Direction will be confirmed and come into effect on 10 June 2021.
If you have any questions or wish to comment on these Artice 4 Directions, please email planning.information@sevenoaks.gov.uk
