Article 4 directions

Article 4 directions in Swale Borough Council

Swale Borough Council has published 22 Article 4 direction areas in force to the national planning dataset (planning.data.gov.uk), as of our last update on 25 October 2026. None of their published records is recorded as withdrawing Class L (house to small HMO). 15 records do not say which rights it withdraws.

The national dataset holds what councils have published to it, so a recent direction may be missing — confirm with the council before relying on permitted development. An Article 4 boundary can split a postcode: check the exact address with the council.

Other Article 4 areas in force
