Article 4 Directions

Location of all Article 4 directions within the OMBC boundary. Article 4 Directions are issued by the Council where specific control over development is required, primarily where the character of an area of acknowledged importance would be threatened. They are therefore more commonly applied to Conservation Areas. The effect of such a Direction is to remove permitted development rights, thereby necessitating a planning application to be made. Directions are usually applied over an area rather than an individual property and are registered as a Local Land Charge.
