Article 4 Directions

To strengthen control in respect of any particularly important features in a conservation area that might otherwise be lost or degraded by unsympathetic permitted development, the Council can make a Direction to withdraw permitted development rights for specified works. This means that a planning application would first be required before a property owner could undertake those works.
