Enforcement

 
 

Enforcement

Planning enforcement is a very complex area. This is because the Town and Country Planning Acts seek to strike a balance between the freedom of the owners to use or alter their property as they wish, whilst at the same time safeguarding the amenities of their neighbours and conserving historic building and areas.

The following guide provides the City Council’s approach to Planning Enforcement.
