An Article 4 Direction provides additional planning control in a particular location. It removes Permitted Development rights over some alterations, such as new porches, replacement windows and doors, replacement roof coverings and the exterior painting of a building. Most directions only relate to those parts of the building facing onto a street, public footpath or open space, but sometimes they cover alterations and extensions at the rear or developments such as sheds in back gardens.

If your property is covered by an Article 4 Direction planning permission is required for these minor developments that would otherwise not require an application for planning permission. This enables us to ensure these minor developments comply with our policies to protect the character of a conservation area and/or the visual amenities of other areas.
