Enforcement -Doing Work Without Permission
1.Introduction
The Town and Country Planning Acts give local planning authorities discretionary powers to tackle breaches of planning control. This guide explains how the planning enforcement system works. It outlines how to report potential breaches of planning rules, what happens during an investigation, and what actions we might take. Unauthorised development can have adverse consequences and, if unchecked, can undermine confidence in the planning system. Taking enforcement action helps to maintain the integrity of the planning system in a fair and transparent way.
