Description We have removed permitted development rights for changes of use from Class E commercial, business and service uses to C3 dwelling houses in specified parts Westminster Central Activities Zone. This means that planning permission is required for the conversion of any Class E floorspace to residential in the areas covered by the Direction. The Article 4 Direction was made on 14 July 2021 and then modified by the Secretary of State on 22 July 2022 to cover a smaller area than originally planned. It is effective immediately. Facts
