Overview

To manage the impacts of basement developments across the borough the Council made a non-immediate Article 4 Direction which removes permitted development rights for basement development. The Article 4 direction was made on 17 May 2016 and if confirmed will come into force on 1 June 2017.
 
Currently under permitted development rights planning permission is not required for a basement that is built entirely underneath a property and does not extend beyond it, for example, underneath the garden or surrounding land.
 
The proposed Article 4 direction will remove this right so that all basement excavations will need planning permission and will be assessed against the Council’s planning policies. The proposed Article 4 Direction applies to the whole of the London Borough of Camden.
 
The Direction and related information is available for download below.
