Prosecution
In some cases, the service of an enforcement notice or exercising of other enforcement powers is not successful in resolving a breach of planning control.
Prosecution is an integral part of the enforcement process and the Council will pursue a prosecution where circumstances warrant such action. Before commencing legal proceedings, the Council will need to be satisfied that there is sufficient evidence to offer a realistic prospect of conviction and that the legal proceedings are in the public interest. The Council will also seek to recover costs in connection with the enforcement action.
