Which streets have the 1984 Article 4 direction?

Cotswold District Council made it in July 1984 for land at Lower High Street, Leasbourne, Sheep Street and Park Road.

There, these jobs need planning permission: a porch, a small extension, a hard standing for a car or an oil tank. New gates, fences and walls are covered too, and so is work to existing ones.

Mickleton, nearby, has had an Article 4(2) direction since 2004.

Who lives in Campden homes?

Many older people. In the 2021 Census, 33.1 per cent of residents in Campden and Vale ward were 65 or over. The England figure was 18.4 per cent.

In 37.7 per cent of households, everyone was aged 66 or over. Some 45.7 per cent of households owned their home outright.

Only 4.1 per cent of households lived in purpose-built flats. Most homes are houses with gardens, walls and gates to keep up.

What does a listed house mean for repairs?

The Market Hall, built in 1627, is listed at Grade I. Many houses nearby are listed too.

Cotswold District Council says small, like-for-like repairs to a listed building may not need consent. Extensive repairs, or ones that replace parts, might.

Search the Historic England list for your house. Ask the council for pre-application advice if you are unsure.

The council also warns that disturbing bats or nesting birds is a criminal offence. This matters for work in a roof, cellar or outbuilding.

How old are homes around Campden?

One statistical area covers Willersey, Chipping Campden and Blockley. There, 76.8 per cent of homes on the Council Tax list date from before 2000.

HSE says such homes may contain asbestos, for example in textured ceilings or old floor tiles.

Before a handyman removes an old ceiling, floor or boxing, ask how they will check.

Questions

Can I put a satellite dish on my Campden house?

Campden is in a conservation area and the Cotswolds National Landscape. A dish must not go on a wall, chimney or roof slope that faces a road and is visible from it.

Can a handyman move a radiator?

GOV.UK says adding radiators to a heating system falls under Building Regulations. On a gas system, the boiler and gas pipes need a Gas Safe engineer.

Where can I search for a trader through the county council?

Gloucestershire Trading Standards runs Buy With Confidence, a scheme you can search. Our register lists separate dated checks.
