Article 4 Directions
An Article 4 Direction allows local authorities to restrict permitted development rights in certain areas. These directions can control small-scale change that might gradually erode the character of a conservation area, such as alterations to windows and doors. Where an Article 4 Direction applies, planning permission is required for the specified works.
The council currently uses Article 4 Directions to restrict permitted development rights in the following conservation areas:
- Noel Park
- Peabody Cottages
- Rookfield Estate
- Tower Gardens
New Article 4 Directions
On 16 December 2019 we made new Article 4 Directions to withdraw permitted development rights in the following conservation areas: Noel Park, Peabody Cottages, Tower Gardens and Rookfield Estate.
A consultation on the new Article 4 Directions took place from the 18 December 2019 to 11 February 2020.
On 17 December 2020 we confirmed new Article 4 Directions for Noel Park, Peabody Cottages and Tower Gardens. These came into effect on 21 December 2020 and the existing directions for these areas were cancelled on the same date.
Rookfield Estate
We have opted not to confirm the new Article 4 Direction for Rookfield Estate. The existing Article 4 Direction for the Rookfield Estate will remain in effect and continue to provide protection against potential harms from permitted development.
This decision will enable us to give further consideration to feedback received during the consultation period, including the scope of the replacement Article 4 Direction, and will allow regard to be had to the Rookfield Estate Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan (CAAMP) which is currently being drafted and is due for consultation and completion in 2021.
