Article 4 direction
Rother District Council (Houses in Multiple Occupation, Bexhill, East Sussex) Article 4 Direction, 2011. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Also on the record
Special protection area about 442 m away: Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay; Conservation area about 65 m away: Bexhill Town Centre; Inside the Bexhill-on-Sea built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
