Council document ↗
Article 4 direction
Article 4 - No 100. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.

Consent is needed before work on protected trees.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.

Checked on 6 October 2026.
