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
- Extensions to the house
- Building walls, fences or gates on front boundaries, which face a road or footpath
- Painting the outside walls of houses and flats
- Demolition of buildings and some front boundaries*
*(Front boundaries over 1 metre in height).
