Development Management Enforcement Plan

In March 2025, we updated our adopted Development Management Enforcement Plan. The plan sets out the polices and procedures that we follow, and the level of service we deliver. We have updated the plan to:

• accord with national and local policy and guidance changes
• bring service standards in line with the way the wider Development Management team operates
• provide an efficient, effective and timely planning enforcement service with the resources available to us

The purpose of the plan is to:

• define the service we provide
• identify priorities and objectives to ensure we make the most effective use of our resources
• provide advice and information to:
  • anyone complaining about a potential breach of planning permission
  • anyone who may have breached planning permission
  • members of the public
