Article 4 Direction Documents

These are the Article 4 Directions in the Wealden District Council area.

An Article 4 Direction is a special planning regulation that gives extra planning control in a chosen area. It removes certain “permitted development rights”, meaning that some types of work that would normally not need planning permission will instead require a planning application.

How to check if your property is affected

You can check whether your property is within an Article 4 Direction area by viewing the Article 4 directions on this page and checking the specific direction documents listed below.

If you are unsure whether an Article 4 Direction applies to your property or what permissions you need, please contact the Planning Service for advice before starting any work.

Article 4 Direction documents are set out below by Parish. Please select your Parish to view the relevant information, including maps and details of any Article 4 Directions that apply. 

Where no Article 4 Directions are currently in place, this will be clearly stated within the parish section.
