Report a planning breach

If the owner appeals a Planning Enforcement Notice

The owner will usually have the right to appeal against the notice to the Planning Inspectorate.

If they appeal, the action they have been asked to take in the enforcement notice will be put on hold until their appeal has been considered.


If the appeal is successful

If the appeal is successful, we can't take any further action.


If the appeal is unsuccessful

If the appeal is unsuccessful, they will need to comply with the requirements of the enforcement notice (unless the notice has been changed by the Planning Inspectorate).

If they don't comply, the Council would normally look to prosecute the owner/occupier.
