Site constraints 10

Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.

Council document ↗
Article 4 direction
Berwick-upon-Tweed. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
Heritage at risk: Berwick-upon-Tweed
