Article 4 Directions

What an Article 4 Direction is

An Article 4 Direction limits the works that can be carried out without needing planning permission from the council.

Often some work can be done without needing to speak to the council, such as minor alterations to a house. This is called 'permitted development'.

An Article 4 Direction removes these 'permitted development' rights and allows the council to establish further control over development.

Current Article 4 Directions

The Article 4 Direction shows:

  • the dates that the article will remain in force until
  • which permitted development rights have been withdrawn
  • a plan of the land
