The social distancing measures implemented to contain the spread of coronavirus (Covid-19) has highlighted the âcritical importanceâ of high-quality green spaces within housing developments, says Ecological Planning & Research Ltd (EPR).
The consultancy highlights that green and blue spaces have long been understood to improve human wellbeing â people with access to such amenities have lower levels of mental distress than those without, as was outlined by a Public Health England report in 2014.
The regulations provide a new time limited emergency permitted development right and supports health service bodies and local authoritiesâ immediate response to coronavirus.
The right is wide ranging, allowing for
development by or on behalf of a local authority or health authority body for the purposes of preventing an emergency;
reducing, controlling or mitigating the effects of an emergency; and
taking other action in connection with an emergency.
The right enables development including, but not limited to, change of use for existing buildings and new temporary modular buildings. The right could be suitable to provide permission for a range of uses including use as:
Hospitals
health facilities
testing centres
coroner facilities
mortuaries
additional residential accommodation
storage and distribution, including for community food hubs.
There is no application process, and health service bodies and local authorities who are not the planning authority are required only to notify the local planning authority of the use of the development on a site as soon as practicable after commencing development. It is expected this will be by e-mail or in writing.
