Planning Enforcement FAQs
Act promptly and do not ignore the notice. Check what breach the council alleges, what steps it requires you to take, the compliance period and, importantly, the date the notice takes effect. You may have grounds to challenge the notice, seek planning permission through the appeal process, or negotiate an appropriate resolution with the council. Planning World can review the notice, advise you on the available options and represent you throughout the enforcement process.
Yes. If you have a legal interest in the land or are a relevant occupier, you can normally appeal an enforcement notice to the Planning Inspectorate. There are seven statutory grounds of appeal, covering issues such as whether planning permission should be granted, whether the alleged breach actually occurred, whether planning permission was required, whether enforcement action was taken within the applicable time limit, and whether the requirements of the notice are excessive. The appropriate grounds depend on the circumstances of your case
An appeal against a planning enforcement notice must reach the Planning Inspectorate before the notice’s effective date. A late enforcement appeal will not be accepted, so you should seek advice as soon as you receive the notice rather than waiting until the deadline approaches. The effective date should be stated on the enforcement notice itself.
Ignoring an enforcement notice can have serious consequences. Once the notice has taken effect, the appeal period has passed and the period allowed for compliance has expired, failure to comply can constitute a criminal offence. Prosecution can result in an unlimited fine, and the council may have other enforcement options available. If you receive a notice, it is therefore important to deal with it before the relevant deadlines expire.
Yes. Planning World can review the enforcement issue, communicate and negotiate with the local planning authority on your behalf, assess the most appropriate strategy and prepare the necessary planning submissions or appeal documentation. This can be particularly useful where the council has already contacted you or formal enforcement action has begun.
Sometimes. A retrospective planning application can potentially regularise development carried out without the necessary planning permission. However, retrospective permission is not guaranteed, and there are important restrictions once enforcement action and related applications are involved. In some circumstances the local planning authority can decline to determine a retrospective application, and the availability of a ground (a) enforcement appeal can also be restricted where a related retrospective application has already been made. Professional advice should therefore be obtained before choosing between a retrospective application and an enforcement appeal.
