Pink house prompts proposal from council
If approved at Wednesday’s council planning meeting, the Article 4 (2) Direction will prevent inappropriate development of buildings in The Steyne, South Street and the seafront and hinterland.
The proposal would enable the council to retain some control over the colour scheme of buildings and to grant permission subject to appropriate conditions.

However, Article 4 Directions cannot be applied or imposed retrospectively to any works that have already been carried out.
