The Committee received a report summarising the work of the Council’s Corporate Enforcement Service during the period 25^th March 2022 to 30^th June 2022. 

It was reported that the Corporate Enforcement Team had investigated 51 allegations of planning breaches during the reporting period.  Of these, no breaches of planning conditions had been found in 13 cases, 2 breaches had been resolved, planning applications which covered the matters under investigation had been received in respect of 2 cases, 34 cases were pending further investigation and 4 Planning Enforcement Notices had been issued.

It was reported that resourcing continued to be an issue for the service and was impacting on the Council’s ability to carry out effective monitoring work.  Notwithstanding this, the Enforcement Team continued to exceed its key performance indicator target with 88% of initial site visits being completed within the target timescales in the Local Enforcement Plan.

The Committee noted the report.
