Planning Enforcement
Control of Unauthorised Development
If you have not applied for planning permission where required or have breached the conditions of your planning permission or associated agreement, the Council has the power to take enforcement action to secure compliance.
The Council must weigh up the seriousness of the breach and the harm caused before deciding on an appropriate course of action.
If a situation cannot be amicably resolved an enforcement notice may be served under Section 172 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
The Council's approach to Planning Enforcement is set out in the updated Planning Enforcement Code of Practice adopted in November 2010.
The Code of Practice refers to the PPG 18 which is available as an internal download below.
