The Planning Enforcement
Sub-Committee (formerly Planning Sub-Committee) will:
1.
Work with the relevant Portfolio Holder to provide
an overview of the Council's planning enforcement policies and
procedures, bringing forward recommendations for changes for the
Portfolio Holder and Cabinet’s consideration as appropriate;
and
2.
Make determinations in respect of formal enforcement
action in respect of breaches of planning control referred to the
Sub-Committee by the Corporate Manager for Planning and Sustainable
Communities. In making such referrals, the Corporate Manager will
take the following matters into account:
(a)
The extent of the likely harm to the character and
amenity of the area concerned and the physical, social and economic
well-being of communities within and around it;
(b)
The implications of enforcement action on the
Council’s resources balanced against the benefits likely to
be generated from such action; and
(c)
The extent to which there is difference of opinion
between officers, parish councils and Local Ward Members on the
expediency of enforcement action; and
3.
Receive reports on the progress of cases determined
in (b) above.
In 2010-11, meetings will be
called as and when required.
If you would like to address
the Committee, please read the Protocol and contact Democratic
