New Planning Rule Changes for Benenden Parish Council Effective July 30, 2013

The Benenden Parish Council implemented new planning regulations on July 30, 2013, aimed at facilitating householder extensions and changes of use in agriculture, offices, and schools. Key updates include increased limits for single-storey extensions, a streamlined prior notification procedure, and specific implications for properties not within conservation areas. Changes also allow the conversion of vacant offices to residential use, with appropriate considerations for impacts on amenity, transportation, and environmental risks. Design and Access Statements are now required for major developments.
