Para 84e Policy
Richard Hawkes explains NPPF Paragraph 784e, the 4th iteration of the Paragraph 79 policy
In July 2018 the NPPF was revised and the “Country House Clause” was found in paragraph 79. Subdivision of an existing residential use was included in a new item (item d) but the exceptional dwelling provision was to be found at item (e) with few alterations from the 2012 edition. Richard Hawkes of Hawkes Architecture discusses the changes the policy has undergone since paragraph 55 and what these changes mean. (recorded when the paragraph 84 policy was still at Paragraph 79)
