Article 4 Directions

Last updated: 18 March 2026

Under current planning legislation householders and businesses have the right to make certain alterations to their property without planning permission — these are called permitted development rights. An Article 4 Direction removes some or all of these rights, meaning that planning permission must be applied for before the works can be carried out.
