Yes — Islington has Article 4 Directions in force. Article 4 Direction covering the whole borough removes permitted development rights for HMO conversions (C3 to C4). Separate Article 4 for office-to-residential in key areas. Article 4 removes specific permitted development rights that would otherwise apply, meaning full planning permission is required where PD would normally be sufficient. We check Article 4 status for your specific property before quoting.
Islington has 40 designated conservation areas, including Barnsbury, Canonbury, Highbury and others. Planning applications within conservation areas require additional heritage consideration and often a Heritage Statement.
