The Cabinet considered Report No: CAB/SE/15/027 (previously circulated) which presented the recommendations of the Bury St Edmunds Area Working Party.

 

On 10 March 2015, the Bury St Edmunds Area Working Party considered the ‘Amendments to the Article 4 Directions in the Bury St Edmunds Town Centre and Victoria Street Conservation Areas’ as a substantive item of business.

 

Councillor Clements, Portfolio Holder for Planning and Regulation, drew relevant issues to the attention of the Cabinet, including that the proposed new Article 4 Directions would include the removal of permitted development rights for solar panels, photo voltaic cells etc. The timetable for the consultation process and implementation of the amended Article 4 Directions (if approved) was contained in Section 1.1.5 of the report.  Members noted that this had been revised since Report No: BAW/SE/15/001 had been presented to the Working Party.
