Article 4 directions

Article 4 directions in Wirral Borough Council

Wirral Borough Council has published 13 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).

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

13 records list the classes withdrawn without Class L. Codes such as 1A or 2C name the permitted development classes withdrawn (Part and Class of Schedule 2).
