Article 4 Directions

The council has made Article 4 Directions covering all of the properties in the following conservation areas. The effect of the direction (in addition to standard conservation area controls) is that planning permission is also required for the following development. This does not mean that the council will necessarily refuse permission, but enables it to exercise greater control in protecting the character and appearance of the conservation areas.

Please note: Affected development varies from area to area.
