Earlier updates

CHANGES TO Householder Permitted Development Rights

On 1st October 2008 changes were introduced to the rights given to householders. For details in an interactive house use www.planningportal.gov.uk Opens in a new window See page /uploads/hhg/houseguide.html

New Residential Development Enquiry Forms are available on this site.

The changes relax some rules but tighten others.

Although existing requirements for some developments - including single storey extensions - have changed, the new rules mean that some previously exempt proposals may now need planning permission. And Hambleton's development management team are warning that failure to take the new legislation into account may lead to conflict with local planning policies and ultimately possible enforcement action.

Householders, builders, glazing and conservatory firms are being urged to check out the rules before undertaking work - information sheets are being sent out to local companies telling them that planning permission may now be needed for:

- the installation or repair of driveways

- extensions or conservatories to the side of a house

- extensions or conservatories to the rear of a house within two metres of a side boundary

- the construction or erection of any building (shed, garage) within two metres of any boundary

- decking over 30cm in height at any point

- installation of side windows to a house

 

"These developments are only a selection of the changes so it is vital that we are contacted before any building work begins," said Hambleton's Head of Development, Maurice Cann.
"We can give free advice. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that any development has the necessary permission. The consequences of failing to obtain planning permission fall upon the householder, not the builder."

And he said this guidance refers only to planning permission and not to matters relating to building regulations which may be applicable to the work - contact the Councils Building Control office for free advice on enquiries@nybcp.org

Enquires to the district council should be made through forms available in the planning section Hambleton residents living within the North Yorkshire Moors National Park can use the same form but need to refer the matter to the park's Helmsley Office.

 

Discharge of Planning Conditions

On 6th April 2008 changes to the fee regulations introduced a charge for the handling requests for confirmation of compliance with planning conditions attached to planning permissions. From 1st July 2008 Hambleton District Council will commence charging for this service.

This document explains how Hambleton District Council will handle this new requirement. The process of handling requests for confirmation of compliance with planning conditions or the submission of details for consideration in order to secure compliance with conditions remains unchanged. Discussion prior to the submission of details is encouraged if there is any doubt over what is required. The validation checklists will be a helpful reference point of the type and level of detail that is required to deal with many types of condition.

Fees are payable for each request for confirmation of compliance with planning conditions (referred to as "written discharge of conditions"). It makes no difference how many conditions are included in the request the fee remains at either £25 for householder development and £85 for other types of development. If several requests are made to discharge conditions relating to the same application the fee will be payable upon submission of each request.

Government set out the details of the new fee arrangements in the "Town and Country Planning (Application and Deemed Applications) Fees (Amendment)(England) Regulations 2008 (Statutory Instrument 2008/ 958) and in the Department for Communities and Local Government Circular 04/2008. Both documents are available at www.planningportal.gov.uk Opens in a new window

The Council will register your request for discharge of conditions and acknowledge this request and commence work on discharging the conditions once the appropriate fee has been paid. You will be given a reference number for the request and the name of the case officer. The Council will endeavour to respond to your request within 21 days; however the 8 week period in which to give a decision as set out in the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 still applies.

The Council will either confirm compliance with the requirements of the condition within 56 days or will explain to the applicant what remains to be done. Where further work or information is required the submission of this information will not be treated as a 'new request' and will not attract a further fee. If the requested confirmation of compliance can not be given on the basis of the initial request and the necessary amendments or additional information is not forthcoming the Council will write and advise that the confirmation of compliance can not be given. This will normally happen before the expiry of the 56 day period. In this instance a new request will incur a further fee. (Unlike resubmission of planning applications there is no 'free-go' for repeat requests, each new request will incur a fee.)

The Development Management section handles almost all proposals for new land and building uses, new buildings, alterations and extensions to existing buildings and houses and advertisements. It also looks after works to hedgerows and trees covered by Tree Preservation Orders.
The unit gives advice and information on a variety of issues and offers a service whereby it can inform residents of the requirements of any planning permission.

- New Builds - Domestic or Commercial
