Planning Enforcement Charter 2024-2026

The Planning Enforcement Charter ("the Charter") is the Council's policy statement updated every two years, setting out how the Council will deliver a planning enforcement service for the city.   The document is also a user manual for stakeholders explaining the processes, powers and policies which shall be applied in dealing with enforcement matters as well as the service pledges and standards which the Council aims to achieve. 

The Charter will explain the decision-making processes through which alleged breaches are assessed in order to ensure consistency, transparency and expediency in all our actions.
