Adelaide Park Conservation Area Reconsultation Article 4 Directions – Reasons for reconsultation We undertook a public consultation in 2016 to explore proposed changes to permitted development rights within the Adelaide Park Conservation Area through an Article 4 Direction. We are now going out for reconsultation as there has been an update to the fee and an opportunity to make refinements to the initial consultation. Fee update and refinements to the initial consultation include: Fee update - The original consultation stated that no fee would apply however there is the requirement to pay a reduced fee of £64 when making an application for planning permission through an Article 4 direction. Enlarging window openings this question has been omitted. – In 2016 a question was asked as to whether altering the size of window and door openings should come under planning control. Under Article 105(8) of the Planning Act (NI) 2011, demolishing part of a building requires conservation area consent. As consent would be required for the demolition associated with enlarging existing window and door openings, planning control can be exercised over this alteration. Removal of the following addresses from the reconsultation. 1 8 Adelaide Chase; and – 1 33 Belvedere Manor. – These addresses have been removed as they are later developments and are of lesser significance in terms of architectural contribution to the character and appearance of the conservation area. Replacing windows and doors to these developments would not have the same impact on the character and architectural or historic interest of the conservation area as they are non-historic elements. Additional questions - We have taken the reconsultation opportunity to ask additional questions about: Front garden areas, and Walls, fences and other means of enclosure. Reconsultation dates The reconsultation is open from Monday 19 June to Monday 17 July.
