To approve the revised Local Planning Enforcement Action Plan
The Executive RESOLVED to adopt the updated Local Planning Enforcement Plan.
Reason: To comply with good practice as set out in Paragraph 59 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2021:
“Effective enforcement is important to maintain public confidence in the planning system. Enforcement action is discretionary, and local planning authorities should act proportionately in responding to suspected breaches of planning control. They should consider publishing a local enforcement plan to manage enforcement proactively, in a way that is appropriate to their area. This should set out how they will monitor the implementation of planning permission, investigate alleged cases of unauthorised development, and take action where appropriate.”
[This matter has already been considered by Services O&S Committee.]
