Planning - article 4 directives Edit

This dataset is published as Open Data and replaces all previously published versions.

An Article 4 Direction is a statement made under The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2011. The Direction, made by a local authority and approved by Scottish Ministers, removes all or some of the permitted development rights on an area.

The effect of a Direction is that planning permission will be required for specific types of development which would otherwise have been regarded as 'permitted development', and would not have required a planning application.

Directions can cover a variety of minor works and might include:

the replacement of doors and windows
the erection of gates
fences
garages
sheds
porches
storage tanks
the installation of satellite antennae

Article 4 Directions complement Conservation Areas and may overlap these – in many cases an Article 4 Direction can be applied to a whole Conservation Area in order to protect the historic character and setting of the area from inappropriate building alterations or development.
