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 Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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 (No. 1 Hartopp Road, Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield) Tpo 1979

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

On the register of historic places assessed as at risk.

A designated building, monument, park or conservation area assessed as at risk from neglect, decay or development. Proposals that secure its future are looked on favourably.

Historic England ↗

Air quality management area: Birmingham AQMA

The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.

Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
