1. FORMAL ENFORCEMENT ACTION TRACKER
1.1 Report content
1.1.1 The Enforcement tracker report is intended to be brought to Planning Committee each quarter. The report provides the current status of enforcement cases that have had formal notices served.
1.1.2 The report sets out the case reference, address and brief description of the breach. The notice type column indicates the type of formal action carried out and three key dates:
Issue date – Date Notice was served
Effective date – Date the Notice takes effect from
Compliance date – Date the Notice is due to be complied with. This may change according to an appeal being lodged, which if the appeal is dismissed and the Notice is upheld the Inspector will impose a new compliance period from the date of the decision.
1.1.3 A legend is supplied which shows five levels of status, being:
Blue – Cases closed since the previous tracker due to compliance
Red – In assessment and/or preparation for the next step of formal action;
Amber - Awaiting planning application/appeal decisions and compliance dates on Notices served;
Green - Awaiting appeal start dates, and
White - Contentious cases that are being monitored i.e. sites with injunctions.
