Article 4 Direction: Household Extensions and Alterations in Wisbech and Bowthorpe Conservation Areas

On 28 January 2002, an Article 4 Direction for Wisbech and Bowthorpe Conversation Areas was approved. This direction means that 'permitted development rights' for residential extensions and alterations have been removed so planning permission is needed for things like:

  • replacing a window (if fronting a highway, waterway or open space)
  • making the property bigger
  • changing a roof
  • erecting a porch
  • removing a stack
  • works relating to access, gates, fences and walls
