question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of research conducted by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, Assessing the impacts of extending permitted development rights to office-to-residential change of use in England, published in May, which suggests that developers are using permitted development applications to circumvent space standards; and whether they plan to review relevant legislation in the light of this research.

uin	HL9930
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2018 answer text <p>National permitted development rights play an important role in the planning system, providing flexibility, reducing bureaucracy and making the most effective use of existing buildings. The permitted development right for the change of use from office to residential is making an important contribution to the delivery of new homes across the country. Nationally, over 17,700 homes were delivered under the right in the year to March 2017, accounting for 8 per cent of national housing delivery.</p><p>All homes, whether granted permission on a planning application or through a national permitted development right, are required to meet Building Regulations, including fire safety.</p><p>Local planning authorities can make an Article 4 direction to remove a permitted development right where it is felt that it is necessary to protect the amenity or wellbeing of an area. This then requires a planning application which the local planning authority can determine in accordance with local plan policies.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth grouped question UIN HL9931 HL9932 HL9933 question first answered 18/09/2018 11:41:02 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
