Planning Enforcement

What do we do next ?

Investigate the details of the complaint.
Establish whether a breach of planning or listed building control has taken place.
Try to negotiate a solution with the “offender” if the development/use can be stopped or if there is a possibility that planning permission might be granted.
Where there is insufficient evidence or no breach is found , advise the complainant that no action is proposed.
Where a breach has occurred, we will gather evidence as necessary to be satisfied that formal action is justified.
Consider the expediency of taking formal enforcement action having regard to the development plan and all other material considerations.
