Permitted development and article 4 directions
Some development does not require planning permission – this is known as a Permitted Development Rights. Guidance on permitted development rights can be found on the planning portal.
Where it is considered that permitted development rights could have a negative impact in an area they can be removed with an Article 4 Direction. This means that you have to submit a planning application for development that would normally be permitted.
