Extra protection for Conservation Areas: Article 4 Directions

Central Government and Birmingham City Council can introduce an Article 4 Direction to give extra protection to certain residential conservation areas.

Copies of the Article 4 Direction for each specific area are available to download below.

Article 4 Directions have been introduced in the following Conservation Areas:

Other Article 4 Directions may be introduced elsewhere in the future. Residents will be notified if this decision is made, but you should still always check with us before you carry out work if you live in a Conservation Area.
