Decision:
RESOLVED:
That the Article 4 Direction for Bury St Edmunds made on 25 March 2015, as contained in Appendix 1 to Report No: CAB/SE/15/042, be confirmed.
Minutes:
The Cabinet considered Report No: CAB/SE/15/042 (previously circulated), which sought approval for the confirmation of a new Article 4 Direction covering the two conservation areas in Bury St Edmunds.
Councillor Alaric Pugh, Portfolio Holder for Planning and Growth, drew relevant issues to the attention of the Cabinet, including that the proposed new Direction had been subject to public consultation and cancelled the previous ones that had applied to the Bury St Edmunds Town Centre and Victoria Street Conservation Areas. The Direction included restrictions applying to all individual properties where relevant and also proposed to remove permitted development rights relating to the installation of microgeneration equipment (solar panels and photovoltaic cells) due to the potential impact such equipment could have on the character and appearance of the conservation area.
The Cabinet supported the confirmation of the Article 4 Direction.
RESOLVED:
That the Article 4 Direction for Bury St Edmunds made on 25 March 2015, as contained in Appendix 1 to Report No: CAB/SE/15/042, be confirmed.
