Article 4 Directions
An Article 4 Direction is made by a local planning authority. It is used to restrict the scope of permitted development rights either in relation to a particular area or site, or a particular type of development anywhere in the authority’s area.
When an Article 4 Direction is in effect, a planning application may be required for certain types of development that would otherwise have been 'permitted development'. We use Article 4 directions to control works that could threaten the unique character of an area of acknowledged importance, such as conservation areas.
Index of Article 4 Directions in the Broads Executive Area
Below you can find a table of current Article 4 Directions in the Broads area.
