Planning enforcement notice advice and appeals
Enforcement notices can be issued by local planning authorities if they think a breach of planning control has occurred. This might be carrying out a development without planning permission, or failing to comply with a condition of permission.
Being served with a formal enforcement notice can be daunting and distressing, and for businesses can cause a range of setbacks such as stopping development and adding delays and costs. With threats of prosecution or default action by the local planning authority for failing to comply with an enforcement notice, set against the cost of carrying out the required works, it can be difficult to know what course of action to take.
You can appeal against an enforcement notice on a number of grounds. Deadlines for appeals can however be short and timely legal advice is crucial.
