Dover House Estate Conservation Area
Planning system update
Our new planning system is now live. We are currently managing a high volume of applications, consultation responses, and local land charges search requests as we complete the transition to the new system.
If you notice any issues while using the service, please let us know. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
The Article 4 direction means that the following changes need planning permission:
- External alterations to houses which would be visible from the street; for example all front elevations and some side and rear elevations; this includes the replacement of windows and doors
- Changes to the roofs of houses; including re-roofing in a different material
- Building porches at the front of the house
- Laying out hard surfaced areas, for example for car parking within the front and some side garden areas of houses
- Building walls, fences or gates on front boundaries, which face a road or footpath
- Demolition of buildings and some front boundaries*
- Painting the outside walls of houses and flats, except the painting of rough - cast or render in one of the approved colours: light beige, cream or off - white
*(Front boundaries over 1 metre in height).
