Complying with an enforcement notice and seeking its withdrawal

Making a request

Where an enforcement notice has been served to remedy a breach of planning control, you can request that our planning enforcement team confirm in writing whether the council agrees that the notice has been complied with. You can also request that an enforcement notice is withdrawn.

You can choose the appropriate service from the options set out in the table below. The fees charged for these services are reflective of the officer costs associated with responding to your request.

Benefits of confirming compliance or withdrawal of an enforcement notice

Engaging with the planning enforcement service to confirm compliance with an enforcement notice will provide you with the security of a written assurance of the council's position. This will be useful should you want to sell the property.

On top of this, enforcement notices are entered on the Local Land Charges records and will remain as a charge unless the notice is withdrawn by the local planning authority. Once withdrawn, the notice is removed from the records and will make any future sale or financing of the property much easier.
