STROUD DISTRICT COUNCIL

STROUD DISTRICT COUNCIL

THE TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING (GENERAL PERMITTED DEVELOPMENT) (ENGLAND) ORDER 2015, ARTICLE 4(1)

NOTICE OF MAKING AN ARTICLE 4 DIRECTION AFFECTING SPECIFIED DWELLINGHOUSES WITHIN THE RANDWICK CONSERVATION AREA

Notice is hereby given that on 12th June 2025, following a review of Randwick Conservation Area, Stroud District Council made a direction under the provisions of Article 4(1) of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (the “GPDO”).

The effect of the direction is to remove specific Permitted Development Rights from a number of dwellinghouses within the Randwick Conservation Area. As a consequence of the direction, householders will be required to apply for planning permission in advance of carrying out specific works, which would normally be classed as “permitted development” through Schedule 2 of the GPDO. This is to ensure the Local Planning Authority has the opportunity to consider the likely impact of the proposed works on the special architectural and historic interest of the conservation area, with a view to conserving or enhancing its character or appearance.

The works requiring planning permission as a result of the removal of the specified Permitted Development Rights by the Article 4 Direction are set out in SCHEDULE 1 to this Notice. The dwellinghouses that are subject to the direction are listed in SCHEDULE 2 to this Notice.

A copy of the direction, and a copy of a map defining the area to which it relates, is available to view at the Stroud District Council Offices during reasonable office hours. Copies will also be displayed on the public notice board at the District Council Offices and on the Parish Council notice board at Randwick Village Hall until Friday 19th September 2025. From Wednesday 16th July, the map and Notice is also available to view online at www.stroud.gov.uk/randwickca.

There will be a 21-day notice period, between Friday 18th July and Friday 8th August 2025, during which the local planning authority invites any representations concerning the direction. Anyone wishing to make representations should write to the Planning Strategy Team at Stroud District Council, Ebley Mill, Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL5 4UB or email local.plan@stroud.gov.uk.

The proposed direction will come into force on Friday 19th September 2025, but it will not come into force unless confirmed by the local planning authority. In deciding whether to confirm or vary the direction made under Article 4(1), the local planning authority will take into account any representations received during the notice period specified above.
