New Article 4 directions – 2020-2021
Introduction of an Article 4 (1) directions requiring planning permission for the demolition of front boundary treatments within 14 Conservation Areas.
An Article 4 Direction is a direction under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 ("GPDO"). It enables the Council to withdraw specified permitted development rights across a defined area.
The effect of this is to require planning permission for the specified works where normally such works would not require planning permission.
As agreed by Planning Committee on 30th May 2018, the council is introducing Article 4 directions.
It requires planning permission for the demolition of all or any part of any gate, fence, wall or other means of enclosure across 14 Conservation Areas in the borough for selected properties.
The conservation areas, properties covered and justification for the Directions is set out in the Committee report (at item 26).
