The Year I Stopped to Notice

Product Information

Local planning authorities also have several planning tools available to encourage stalled housing development to be brought forward. These include: When granting planning permission, the National Planning Policy Framework encourages local planning authorities to consider imposing a condition that development is begun within a shorter time period than the standard 3-year period to help ensure that proposals for housing development are implemented in a timely manner.

It may be appropriate in some circumstances for the local planning authority to issue a temporary stop notice where the breach of planning control has occurred on land owned by a third party, including the local authority or another public authority. The local planning authority must allow a period of no fewer than 28 days for the person on whom the notice was served to request a hearing of a person appointed by the Secretary of State, effectively a planning inspector.Local planning authorities have responsibility for taking whatever enforcement action may be necessary, in the public interest, in their administrative areas. It should be noted that local authorities have a range of enforcement powers that extend beyond planning, as do the police in certain instances. See, for example, the note on dealing with illegal encampments.

Where there are reasonable grounds for entering land for enforcement purposes, and entry is refused or is reasonably likely to be refused, or there is a need for urgency, then it is possible for a Justice of the Peace to issue a warrant to allow entry ( section 196B(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990).

carrying out work without the necessary listed building consent, or failing to comply with a condition attached to that consent, whereby such works etc materially affect the historic or architectural significance of the building, is an offence under section 9 of that Act – whether or not an enforcement notice has first been issued; The Act specifies the purposes for which entry to land may be authorised ( section 196A(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990), namely: A failure to complete or return a notice within 21 days is an offence, as is providing false or misleading information on the notice ( section 171D of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990). The Planning (Hazardous Substances) Act 1990 requires hazardous substances consent to be obtained when a controlled quantity of hazardous substance is present on land.
