Article 4 Directions
Guidance for living in an Article 4 Direction area To help protect the character and appearance of some of the district’s conservation areas, East Suffolk Council, as a local planning authority, has increased planning controls through the application of Article 4 Directions. A list of conservation areas where these have been applied is below. These directions make further restrictions on permitted development rights to change residential (only) properties. Planning permission is consequently required to make any change of design or material to any part of the property facing what is called a ‘relevant location’ – that is, a public thoroughfare, defined as a highway, waterway or open space.

Noise from construction, demolition or roadworks
Construction noise is noise created on building and demolition sites, or from roadworks. Unfortunately, due to the nature of construction works, noise is inevitable and can rarely be completely prevented. However, noise from construction sites can be very disturbing, particularly if it is a large development that takes a considerable length of time to build.

Biodiversity Net Gain
What is Biodiversity Net Gain?
The Environment Act 2021 (legislation.gov.uk) lays out how Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) can contribute to the recovery of nature whilst still allowing land to developed. The purpose of BNG is to ensure that more habitats are available, and that they are in a better condition, than before development occurred. All relevant planning applications will be required to demonstrate how they achieve 10% Biodiversity Gain as part of the development. This will involve the submission of a Biodiversity Gain Plan, Statutory Biodiversity Metric and Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan for approval by the Local Planning Authority.
