Different planning regime applies in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland planning is governed by the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011, not the England & Wales Town and Country Planning Act 1990 referenced below. Article 4 directions don't exist in NI in the same form — the equivalent restrictions sit in Article 4 of the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015. See Planning Portal NI for the local rules.
Article 4 status
Council status not yet confirmed for BT64.
Verify with Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon directly before relying on permitted-development rights.
Regulatory layers to check
Conservation area designation
Restricts external alterations, materials, demolition and tree work. Most pre-1900 town and village centres are in one.
Listed building status
Internal and external alterations need listed building consent. Common in central villages, historic estates, and most pre-1840 buildings.
Article 4 direction (HMO)
Not currently in force in this council area. C3 to C4 conversion remains a permitted-development right.
Tree Preservation Order (TPO)
Specific tree(s) protected. Work needs council consent. Common in suburban and conservation areas.
National Park / AONB / Green Belt
National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty add planning restrictions. Green Belt blocks most new development.
Flood zones (EA Zone 2 / 3)
Planning permission for habitable rooms in EA Flood Zone 3 is much harder and requires a flood risk assessment.
