Decision details
Immediate Article 4 Directions for General Employment Areas within Dacorum
Decision Maker: Strategic Director (Place)
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
Main General Employment Areas across Dacorum
are currently protected from Permitted Development Rights for
conversion to residential use by existing Article 4 Directions made
and confirmed in 2019. Those Article 4 Directions will cease to
have effect from 1 August 2022. Without the protection of immediate
Article 4 Directions there is substantial risk of irreversible
losses to key commercial buildings across Dacorum as the protection
afforded by the existing Article 4 Directions lapses on 1 August
2022.
Decision:
To make immediate Article 4 Directions for
properties within Dacorum as shown coloured in red on the attached
plans.
Alternative options considered:
Option 1 - Make Article 4 Directions with
immediate effect.
Option 2 - Make Article 4 Directions that do not take immediate
effect.
Option 3 - Do not make Article 4 Directions.
