Research into the use of Article 4 Directions

RPS Planning was commissioned by the English Historic Towns Forum to undertake research into the use of article 4 directions by English local planning authorities. These are used to bring under planning control a range of works authorised under article 3 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 as amended by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Amendment) Order 2008, which came into force from 1st October 2008.
