What if a development is built without consent or not in compliance with conditions that have been imposed?
• Answer: The Council has an Enforcement Officer who will investigate any alleged breach of planning controls. Should a development have started without the necessary planning consent, powers are available if appropriate to require the development to be stopped pending consideration of an application. The Council has an Enforcement Charter which explains in more detail the enforcement procedures and when it may be appropriate to take enforcement action.
