In East Linton's conservation area, you'll need planning permission to paint your fence. This falls under the restrictions imposed by the Article 4 Direction, which limits certain types of development without consent, including alterations to fences.
Here's a quick summary of what requires permission in conservation areas:
| Activity | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Painting a fence or altering its appearance | Planning permission needed |
| Erecting or maintaining a wall or enclosure | Planning permission needed |
| Replacing windows or changing building colors | Planning permission needed |
If you're considering this project, it would be a good idea to contact the Development Management service for advice on your specific situation. You can even reach out via email at environment@eastlothian.gov.uk for further assistance.
