Gov.UK report that:
Towards the end of July the Secretary of State for DLUHC published a number of letters modifying Article 4 Directions in several London Boroughs. The modifications reflect last year’s Written Ministerial Statement on Article 4 Directions which seek to remove Permitted Development Rights for change of use from Class E to residential (as set out in Paragraph 53 of the NPPF). The letters will be of interest to any LPA seeking to deal with this issue, especially in a town or city centre setting, and may have wider implications beyond London as experience develops.
