Planning Datasets

We are committed to a data-driven digital planning system. Below you'll find our published planning datasets, which follow Government data standards.

All data is provided under the Open Government Licence.

Article 4 Direction Data

This dataset provides information on the Article 4 Directions in place within 19 of the Stoke-on-Trent’s conservation areas.

These directions remove specific permitted development rights, meaning you will need planning permission for certain works (like a small extension) that are usually automatically permitted elsewhere.
