Article 4 Directions
Article 4 Directions, issued after careful consideration by Local Authorities, remove some or all permitted development rights within areas for which special controls are considered to be necessary in order to preserve the area’s character and amenity.
Article 4 Directions are issued by Local Authorities when it is considered that certain forms of uncontrolled development would harm the special character and amenity of an area, particularly where the development would be visible from the public highway. Directions introduced within a Conservation Area are known as Article 4(2) Directions.
Article 4 Directions remove some or all permitted development rights of an area. This means that some forms of development would require the submission of a full planning application. Article 4 Directions are only issued after careful consideration.
If you live in an area that may be under an Article 4 Direction please contact either land charges or the planning department for full details on the specific types of restrictions (as these vary from Direction to Direction).
