Purpose of the guide to planning enforcement

Bradford Council has produced a guide to planning enforcement to provide a comprehensive overview of the enforcement process. This will ensure that planning enforcement remains a clear and transparent process.

The Guide to Enforcement provides information on how the council will approach and deal with breaches of planning control. This will set out how to deal with enquiries, what we can and cannot investigate, types of breaches and enforcement priorities. Furthermore, detail will be provided on how breaches are assessed, what action is taken to resolve breaches and what powers are available to the Local Planning Authority.
