Article4 Direction Documentation

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. The following documents are the legal orders for article 4 directions within the London Borough of Barnet. The documents below may include historical information on permitted development classes removed under the relevant legislation at that time. They may include historic maps which may now be superseded. However, in order to fulfil the Open Digital Planning Program specifications, we have translated the old A4 direction classes into their modern counterparts, details of which (including links to individual maps) can be found in the individual Article 4 direction pages in Barnet.gov.uk
