Article 4 Direction - Article 4 Directions are held over this land. An article 4 direction is a direction under article 4 of the General Permitted Development Order which enables the Secretary of State or the local planning authority to withdraw specified permitted development rights across a defined area.
An article 4 direction only means that a particular development cannot be carried out under permitted development and therefore needs a planning application.
Our interpretation would be that the order dated 19/7/82 implies that Class II, IV, V Para 1&3, VI, VII and XXII are removed from the GDPO rights of the TCPA General Development Order 1977 . This has the effect of limiting the height of the roadside fencing to 1m, it removes the right to: hold caravans on the site under the 28day rule and similarly motorsport and markets; the use of tents on the land; the erection of buildings; the mineral extraction of the land; the use of the land for forestry and use of the land as a caravan site. However, you must make your own investigations and enquiries of the local planning department and take independent legal advice to be satisfied as our interpretation does not provide any guarantee
