Decision:
Resolved
(1) That the Local Enforcement Plan (annex to the Minutes as set out in the Minute Book) be adopted.
Minutes:
The Head of Development Management submitted a report which sought consideration of the Local Enforcement Plan.
Resolved
(1) That the Local Enforcement Plan (annex to the Minutes as set out in the Minute Book) be adopted.
Reasons
Paragraph 207 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) recommends that local planning authorities consider publishing a Local Enforcement Plan (LEP) to manage enforcement proactively, in a way that is appropriate to their area.
Alternative options
Not to agree to adopt the LEP. This would inhibit the Planning Enforcement Team’s ability to effectively manage breaches of planning control. It would also forego the opportunity to improve the public’s understanding of the planning enforcement system.
