Enforcement
Planning enforcement deals with cases where there has been:
- development carried out without planning permission or permitted development rights
- unauthorised advertisements
- works carried out to protected trees
- non-compliance with conditions attached to planning approval
Enforcement notices
There are legal documents which can be served on people who have built something without the required permissions. A notice could:
- stop or prevent an activity
- request the removal of an unauthorised building or extension
- ask for a development to be changed to make it more acceptable
Anyone receiving an enforcement notice can appeal to the Planning Inspectorate
We are currently updating our enforcement pages - if you would like to know more about enforcement or a notice that has been issued, please contact us by email enforcement@northdevon.gov.uk or on 01271 388288.
