Managing planning enforcement
Scheme of delegation
The Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health has delegated authority to issue all planning enforcement notices.
The responsibility for endorsing decisions will sit with the relevant team leader or service manager in planning services (the team leader will not endorse their own decisions) and will be escalated to the Head of Planning or Director of PHEH as necessary.
The decision as to whether criminal, or other legal proceedings should be brought, is delegated to the Director of Central Services. In addition, there is standing authorisation from the Director of Central Services to the Head of Legal and Democratic Services to make such decisions.
