Summary

An Article 4 Direction is a planning measure used by local authorities to remove specific permitted development rights, meaning residents must now apply for planning permission for works that would normally not need it. This is typically done to protect the character and appearance of an area, especially within Conservation Areas, by controlling minor alterations, extensions, and changes of use. Examples of affected works can include changes to roofs, painting of previously unpainted elevations, and construction of extensions.
