What is a Planning Enforcement Notice?
Planning Advice Ruislip
A Planning Enforcement Notice is a legal document, which requires you to take action to resolve a breach of planning control. Usually, the council will contact you prior to considering enforcement action. The initial investigation is conducted by an enforcement officer who may write to you or visit your property. You may also receive a ‘Planning Contravention Notice’ from the council. This requests certain information about your building to ascertain its legitimacy. Failure to respond or respond untruthfully is an offence. Consequently, a fine can be issued.
If an Enforcement Notice is served you may be required to take any of the following steps;
- Remove the building.
- Alter the building.
- Cease the use
- Reinstate demolished buildings.
Why Have I Received an Enforcement Notice?
Planning Permission Ruislip
Councils have the authority to serve a Planning Enforcement Notice if they suspect a breach of planning control. They are most commonly served to those who have started construction work prior to applying for permission from the planning authorities.
However, they can also be served if you have got permission. In such cases it is likely you have failed to comply with the conditions of the given planning permission. In addition, if you change the use of your land/premises without notifying the authorities this could also be a breach.
