Confirmation of Cancellation of Article 4 Direction at Doncaster Sheffield Airport
On 25 July 2024 the Council made an Immediate Article 4 Direction cancelling the Article 4 Direction dated 29 September 2023 that removed Permitted Development Rights for the demolition of buildings within the operational area at Doncaster Sheffield Airport
The Immediate Article 4 Direction is made under Article 4(1) of the GPDO and for a period of up to six months cancels the 2023 Direction that removed Permitted Development Rights relating to the demolition of buildings, granted under Class B Part 11 of Schedule 2 to the General Permitted Development Order.
There has been a change of circumstances since the 2023 Direction was confirmed, in that the Council has secured control over the land by entering into a 125-year lease and seeks to reopen the airport. It is therefore no longer necessary or expedient to require planning permission to be sought for the demolition of buildings on the land.
The Direction will expire six months after it comes into force unless the Council confirms it before this date. In order to consider whether the Direction ought to be confirmed, you are invited to make representations to the Council. Any representations you make will be taken into account when deciding whether to confirm the Direction.

Article 4 Direction - Doncaster Sheffield Airport
In April 2023 the Council sought views from landowners and the general public on a proposal to make an Article 4 Direction in relation to Doncaster Sheffield Airport.
On 1 June 2023, the City of Doncaster Council made an immediate Article 4 Direction which removes permitted development rights for the demolition of buildings within the operational area of Doncaster Sheffield Airport and shown on the map below. This came into effect on 5 June 2023.
The Article 4 Direction is made under Article 4 (1) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). In this case, it has the effect of removing Permitted Development Rights relating to the demolition of buildings under Class B Part 11 of Schedule 2 to the General Permitted Development Order, in the area specified on the map below.
The Council had 6 months to confirm this order, otherwise it would expire. In order to consider whether the Direction ought to be confirmed, we invited representations. Following this, and taking into account representations made through this process, the Article 4 Direction was confirmed on 29 September 2023.
This direction removes permitted development rights for any building operation consisting of the demolition of a building being development comprised within Class B of Part 11 of Schedule 2 to the General Permitted Development Order at Doncaster Sheffield Airport. The demolition of any building at the airport will now require planning permission.
