Local Enforcement Plan - Introduction
The National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) recommends that local planning authorities publish a local enforcement plan to manage enforcement proactively and in a way that is appropriate to their area.
This Local Enforcement Plan (the plan) sets out priorities for investigation, explains the type of complaints that will be investigated, and outlines the Council’s general discretionary powers with regard to planning enforcement. The details below identify how to make a complaint and the table provides a quick guide to what you can expect from the service in terms of timescales. Further detail is provided in later sections of the plan.
