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 Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.

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 2 November 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.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
