You can report a suspected planning breach to us.
We have discretionary powers that can be applied when there is a breach in planning control that causes harm to the amenity of the area and that cannot be resolved by negotiation.
Before you make a report:
We cannot investigate:
We will:
Planning compliance is discretionary and the council is not bound to act in any particular case. Much will depend on acting reasonably, proportionately (in relation to the level of harm caused), whether it is expedient and in the public interest to act immediately and whether planning permission is likely to have been granted had an application been made.
It is rare to make an immediate intervention and in most cases the council will review all circumstances before agreeing the type of formal action it is expedient to take.
We have an up to date register where formal action has been taken, including details of the planning breach and the type of action taken. The register has information on notices from 1982. Please contact us for details of Notices prior to 1982 or to arrange to view the full register in hard copy.
