Given our extensive experience in the Hull and East Yorkshire property market, we are able to advise investors over local planning restrictions under Article 4 Directions - a tool used by local planning authorities in the UK to remove certain permitted development rights.
They are used to control over development to protect the character, appearance, or sustainability of an area, and to protect specific areas and buildings, such as conservation areas, heritage sites, or other sensitive locations where there is a need to manage development more closely.
Details can be found here on the Article 4 Directions in place in Hull and the East Riding.
A number of areas fall under the Article 4 planning directive restricting the creation of HMOs. Details for Hull can be found here, and East Yorkshire here.
