Minerals and waste planning enforcement
Enforcement
Enforcement deals with the situation that arises when development has taken place without the benefit of planning permission or a condition imposed on a planning permission has been ignored or abused.
The authorities will deal with most of such cases but the Council has responsibility for enforcement in respect of Minerals and Waste matters.
The Council has adopted an Enforcement Protocol which sets out the Authority's role in enforcement and the standards it intends to follow in this area of its work. Copies are available from the Development Planning and Control Section at County Hall.
Annual Report
An annual Enforcement, Appeals and Monitoring report is produced to summarise our work in these areas. The most recent report went to Development Control Committee in July 2008. The next Annual Report is due in July 2009.
