GPDO developments (prior approval) application process
The General Permitted Development Order (GPDO) allows for the change of use of some buildings and land to Class C3 (dwelling houses) subject to a prior approval process. Article 3(1) of the GPDO 1995 specifies that planning permission is permitted subject to the Conservation of Habitats & Species Regulations. Regulation 73 makes it a condition of any planning permission granted by general development order which is likely to have a significant effect on a European site must not begin until the developer has received written notification of the approval of the local planning authority under regulation 75.
An application for prior approval should therefore include a completed unilateral undertaking for GPDO developments.
Additional charges
We reserve the right to charge an additional fee if you:
- choose to alter the content of the unilateral undertaking template or the appeals template (other than in the areas where instructed to do so)
- decide to draft your own S106 unilateral undertaking
- cover any increase in costs for our legal services involvement in getting an acceptable form of unilateral undertaking agreed
This charge is a reasonable cost charged by our legal services team to review the bespoke document(s). If you do not provide advance payment and do not use the template provided as intended, no further progress can be made with your planning application.
