What happens to my complaint?
We can only take action if there has been a breach of planning control. We will therefore check this first by visiting the property.
If the complaint involves a building, we can assess if there has been a breach quite quickly. If the complaint involves the use of a property, we may have to monitor it for a few weeks to make this assessment. We may also ask for your help to collect evidence of the unauthorised use.
If there is a breach we then have to consider if it would be likely to get planning permission. If we feel it might, we will invite an application, on which you would be consulted. Letters received on planning applications are available to the public, or if the Planning Committee is deciding the application, you can have your say in person.
If an application is not submitted, the council will then have to consider if it is in the public interest to take formal action. The council will not automatically take action just because an application is not submitted.
If we do not feel planning permission would be granted and the breach is significant, we will take formal action.
At each stage we will keep you informed, by phone or in writing
