Article 4 Directions
An Article 4 direction is used to reduce 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. Where an article 4 direction is in effect, a planning application may be required for development that would otherwise have been permitted development.
Article 4 directions are used to control works that could threaten the character of an area of acknowledged importance, such as a conservation area. If you wish to make a representation about an Article 4 direction, that hasn’t yet been confirmed please email article4@southdowns.gov.uk.
