Q: What is a Breach of Condition Notice?
Answer:
When conditions imposed on a planning permission are being disregarded, the council can serve a 'Breach of Condition Notice' on the developer or occupier. If this is not complied with, we can take legal action. There are no rights of appeal to the Secretary of State against a Breach of Condition Notice. Where appropriate the council will use this procedure in preference to the service of Enforcement Notices.
