Part 2 Compliance with Conditions

It is YOUR responsibility to comply with planning conditions. The Council’s Planning Enforcement Team is responsible for investigating alleged breaches of planning control.  This includes ensuring that all relevant conditions have been complied with. Effective enforcement is important to:

•	Tackle breaches of planning control which would otherwise have unacceptable impact on the amenity of the area
•	maintain the integrity of the decision-making process;
•	help ensure that public acceptance of the decision-making process is maintained.

Whilst the majority of developers/homeowners do comply with the requirements of planning permissions, there are a number who do not.  Where any planning conditions are breached, the Council can take formal enforcement action without further notice. Enforcement action could include such measures as requiring remedial works, cessation of use, or complete demolition and can cause the developer/homeowner unnecessary expense, delay and frustration. In some cases, failure to comply with planning conditions can lead to the loss of the planning permission.
