Providing clarity and practical solutions to regularise unauthorised developments and activities in response to Enforcement proceedings taken by the planning authorities.

Planning enforcement is a statutory and legal procedure initiated by local government under the Planning Acts for non-compliance with planning legislation.  Planning enforcement can arise from several and multiple actions including; a breech of planning permission, non-compliance with planning conditions; and as a result of partially completed developments.  In all cases, it requires careful and measured redress to ensure compliance with the planning code and to avoid costly legal/court actions.
