Site constraints 14

Four Oaks Conservation Area conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Article 4 direction
City Wide Hmo. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
Tree preservation order: The Birmingham (71 Bracebridge Road, Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield) Tpo 1985
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.
Heritage at risk: Four Oaks
