Minutes:

The Chief Executive presented the Planning Enforcement Plan.

 

Members were advised that planning enforcement had been moved into the regulatory services section as there was a better synergy in grouping the Council’s main enforcement areas together and it offered the opportunity to build a stronger enforcement culture, particularly where multiple offenses were being committed. There would also be increased transparency and accountability through the updated Planning Enforcement Plan.

 

Members called for improved communication and engagement with the public so that it was clear as to what the Council could and could not take enforcement action in respect of, including the use of posters and other visual material.

 

RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
