Planning enforcement

Planning legislation empowers the council to take the appropriate enforcement action when breaches of planning control have taken place.

Central government guidance is available on how the local planning authority should exercise its powers.

If you believe a breach of planning control has taken place, you can find more information and make an enforcement complaint.
