Report a planning breach
Report a planning breach
A planning breach usually occurs when:
- a development that requires planning permission is undertaken without the permission being granted - either because the planning application was refused or was never applied for
- a development that has been given permission subject to conditions breaks one or more of those conditions
A planning breach in itself is not illegal and the council can permit a retrospective application where planning permission has not been sought.
However, if the breach involves a previously rejected development (or the retrospective application fails) the council can issue an enforcement notice.
In considering any enforcement action, the main issue for the Council is whether the breach of control would unacceptably affect a public amenity. It is illegal to disobey an enforcement notice unless it is successfully appealed against.
Please contact the the Planning department to report a breach.
