Q: What are Enforcement Notices?
Answer:
Enforcement Notices are documents served by the Council which require the use of the land to stop and/or any buildings or structures that do not have planning permission to be removed. The Council must find out the names of all the owners and occupiers of the property and make sure they are served a notice. The notice itself has to be precise as to what action the council wants taken and by what date. There are rights of appeal to the Planning Inspectorate and the notices can be challenged if they are inaccurate.
