The Basics of Planning Enforcement

The credibility of the planning system is increasingly reliant on effective enforcement of planning control. This workshop is aimed at planning staff who are either directly involved in enforcement work or who wish to have a contextual understanding of the system, as well as relatively new or less experienced enforcement staff. Specific aspects covered include: what can be enforced - the definition of development and what constitutes unauthorised development; the immunity rules; how to deal with complaints; evidence collection; the effective use of the enforcement toolkit; and practical steps to make enforcement more efficient and effective.

PARTICIPANT COMMENTS:

"A very good indication of the purpose of the role and a clear understanding of which action is desirable and most importantly, why? "

William Walsh, Bedford Borough Council

"Workshop clarified a number of issues and gave a better understanding of the enforcement role, legislation and tools/powers available. Very useful workshop."

Lee Payne, Mole Valley District Council

"Content very detailed, however this was supported and enhanced by the presenters own knowledge which added good case studies and experiences. These made the information more '3D' which I found helpful."

Emily Waring, East Staffs Borough Council
