Replacement Article 4 Directions (Class MA) in Main Employment Areas

The Government has recently revised the Use Class Order for England, and has introduced a corresponding new permitted development right (Class MA) through amendments to the General Permitted Development Order (GPDO) 2015. These changes will have implications for the council’s existing Article 4 Directions at Manor Royal, Maidenbower Business Park, Lowfield Heath, Three Bridges Corridor, and Tilgate Forest Business Centre. Should the council wish to retain existing protections for these Main Employment Areas, the current Directions will need to be replaced to take account of the amended GPDO.
