Planning Enforcement

What is not a breach of planning control?

These are some activities that are not breaches of planning control and therefore, no enforcement action can be taken under the planning legislation:

  • noise complaints
  • highway related issues
  • operating a business from home where  the main use is  as a residence,and this does not cause local problems
  • parking a caravan within the boundary of a residential property provided that it is ancillary to the dwelling (for example, if it is stored)
  • parking of commercial vehicles on the highway, even in residential areas
  • boundary disputes
  • covenant issue
