Planning Enforcement

Planning Permission 

Navigating Planning Enforcement with HAD & Co

When planning rules are breached, local authorities have powers to intervene. HAD & Co provides  guidance  to protect your interests if you receive an Enforcement Notice or a Planning Contravention Notice.

Addressing an Enforcement Notice

Should your local council determine that works have been undertaken without the necessary planning permission, or deviate from an approval you've already secured, they may issue an Enforcement Notice. This formal directive typically mandates the complete or partial reversal of the unauthorised development. It is crucial to understand that disregarding an Enforcement Notice carries significant  consequences.

At HAD & Co, we can provide immediate assistance by either lodging a robust appeal against the notice or engaging in negotiations with the council to seek its withdrawal. A key benefit of initiating an appeal is that, in most instances, further enforcement action is put on hold while your appeal is being processed.
