Site constraints 9

Enfield Town conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.

Council document ↗
2 Article 4 directions
Enfield Town · Borough wide. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
