The Executive considered a revised Local Enforcement Plan (LEP), which provide a framework of local guidance for the investigation and assessment of breaches of planning control in line with current national policy.
All Councillorshad been consulted on the draft LEP, with any comments received from councillors, plus officers’ responses to those comments, set out in Annex A to the report. Members discussed the extent of councillor involvement in enforcement matters, taking into account the need to balance legal processes whilst enabling councillors to represent their wards. The need to ensure there was sufficient communication with councillors on enforcement matters within their wards was noted, whilst recognising the operational nature of the work.
RESOLVED that the Surrey Heath Local Enforcement Plan, as attached at Annex B to the agenda report, be agreed.
