In order to preserve the character or appearance of conservation areas, the Council is able to remove various dwellinghouse permitted development rights under Article 4(2) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development Order) 1995 (GPDO).
It has become apparent that the existing protections in place to prevent boundary wall removals (primarily to allow parking) are not sufficient in order to effectively manage change within the two Llandaff conservation areas.
In order to address this, additional Article 4(2) Directions are proposed to remove permitted development rights for the partial demolition of any means of enclosure within the Llandaff and Cardiff Road Conservation Areas (Class B of Part 31 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO). Alterations will then require planning permission (no fee is payable for these applications).
RESOLVED: that the service of additional Article 4(2) Directions for the Llandaff and Cardiff Road Conservation Areas to remove permitted development rights afforded to single dwelling houses under Class B of Part 31 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development Order) 1995 (as amended) for the demolition of the whole or part of a gate, fence, wall or other means of enclosure within the curtilage of a dwelling house fronting a relevant location be approved and authorised
Other reasons / organisations consulted
Llandaff ward members are aware of the proposed Article 4(2). The Llandaff Conservation Group and Llandaff Society are also aware.
Letters will be sent to all affected dwellinghouse owners, and the regulations require an advertisement to be placed in the press giving at least 21 days for representations.
