We investigate all reasonable complaints, prioritising them according to their urgency and the potential harm.

Please note planning enforcement will not deal with:

  • Boundary disputes between neighbours (including party wall issues)
  • Property and land ownership issues (including loss of value to property)
  • Complaints received anonymously
  • Persistent complaints about unauthorised development or uses which have previously been investigated and a conclusion reached
  • Vexatious or malicious complaints
