PERMITTED DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS

September 5th, 2025 by James Goudie KC

In R ( RICKARDS ) v EAST HERTS DC ( 2025 ) EWHC 2238 ( Admin ) the Court states, at para 68, that crucially, with permitted development rights, the principle of development is already established by statute, and that what is left to consider is how that development should be implemented. At para 72 the Judge adds, in relation to lightness of touch, there is a distinction to bedrawn between considering whether permitted development rights apply and the details of the development subject to which those rights are exercised.
