Planning Compliance

Hello and welcome to Compliance at the Planning Department.

Compliance is a planning service offered to those who suspect alleged breaches of planning control are taking place. In order for a thorough investigation to commence, we require a written complaint using our online form or a letter sent to the Compliance team to the address as set out at the bottom of this page.

This complaint should include the site address, nature of complaint and any supporting materials such as photographs. Please note that anonymous complaints are not investigated.

Please be aware that due to limited staff, the response time is graded in terms of priority; the details of which can be found on How long does enforcement action take?

I trust that you will find what you are looking for on these pages. However, if there is an issue which has not been answered, then please feel free to contact any of the officers in the team for further help or assistance.

If you require generic advice about the submission of a planning application, then the Technical Support Unit will assist. It is possible to contact them direct on 01903 737711 or you may visit our public reception during the following hours: Monday-Thursday 8.45am - 5.15pm and 8.45am - 4.45pm Friday.
