Purpose

To seek adoption of an updated local Enforcement Plan for the Planning Service, setting out service aims, how to deal with breaches of planning control and how cases are investigated

Decision

That the Development Management Local Enforcement Plan 2024 “LEP” document be formally adopted, thereby superseding the currently published Development Management Planning Enforcement Plan 2019.

Reason for the decision

The Development Management Loal Enforcement Plan 2024 “LEP” document set out Dorset Council’s approach to enforcement matters in line with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). It also set out the council’s priorities for investigating and, where applicable, remedying breaches of planning control.
