Much of this business guide provides information on how the LPA (Local Planning Authority) deal with development control breaches and also the subject of 鈥渓awfulness鈥�. The guide also deals with the role of the planning enforcement officer and rights of entry.
These types of cases can be sensitive and taking independent professional advice at an early stage is important in preventing matters escalating, especially in cases which are not clear cut.
