IP4 Enforcement against unlawful development

We will take enforcement action against unauthorised development where this is expedient. The priorities for enforcement action are set out in the council’s Enforcement Plan. The highest priority is to protect the borough’s housing stock and tackle poor quality accommodation that harms the health and wellbeing of residents. Planning breaches also prioritise loss of amenity and harm to heritage.
