Article 4 (2) Direction - Ramsgate & Pegwell Conservation
Areas
The preservation of our history and heritage is an important
social and cultural asset to Thanet. Its maintenance and protection
also plays a role in the Districts economy.
There are areas which the Council
and local community consider should be conserved and enhanced due
to their special architectural or historic interest. The council
has identified 20 such areas and designated them as conservation
areas.
In order to help, protect and enhance these areas Thanet
District Council has introduced new restrictions in the form of
Article 4 (2) Direction within conservation areas, which will
remove some rights to carry out alterations to certain properties
within part of the Ramsgate and Pegwell Conservation Areas.
Planning permission will now be required for these works, however
no fee would be payable in this case.
- You can check whether a particular property is effected by the
Article 4 (2) Direction by looking at the Article 4 (2) Address list.
A copy of the Direction is shown below. It sets out the
details of the works which now require permission. However, this is
not intended to prevent all change, it just allows the Council to
consider more carefully the way building alterations are carried
out.
If you have any questions or would like any further
clarification of the direction and the process of its application,
