Planning Enforcement

Planning enforcement refers to the process by which local authorities ensure that development and building activities comply with planning permissions and regulations. If someone constructs or modifies a property without the proper approval or in breach of approved plans, enforcement actions may be taken to address the issue. These actions can include warnings, notices to stop work, or requiring changes to bring the site into compliance. The goal is to protect community interests, preserve the character of areas, and ensure developments follow legal and planning standards.
