PPS-21 - Sustainable Development in the Countryside
PPS-21 is a set of new rules introduced by the Planning Service to create more opportunities for development sites within the countryside.
PPS-21 is an amended set of rules to replace the old PPS-14. It is active now as a final policy and has relaxed the restrictions on countryside development.
How does it affect me?
PPS-21 has brought in new rules to help development which can only be applied for with the following:-
Replacement Dwellings – Can be granted for existing dwellings in various states of repair as long as walls & recognisable openings remain.
New Dwelling on a Farm – Under the new Planning Policy, one dwelling is permitted on a farm every 10 years.
Non-Residential (Barns) Conversions – This applies to non-residential agricultural buildings that have a residential style construction i.e. masonry / stone walls with openings.
Infill sites along road sides – This applies to small gaps or sites between a row of 3 or more existing houses.
Personal need Dwellings – These are dwellings for people with a special need or circumstance, such as a carer for another person.
Non-Agricultural business Dwellings – site specific need for a dwelling near a non-agricultural business
New Dwellings in Existing Clusters – this allows for a new house in a cluster of at least 4 buildings, at least 3 of which must be dwellings.
What do I do now?
