Planning Enforcement Charter 2024

Where a notice is served the Developer can, in most cases, submit an appeal to the Scottish Ministers. Most enforcement appeals are delegated to Reporters within the Scottish Government's Planning and Environmental Appeals Division (DPEA) to determine. If this happens timescales will be affected. The Council will defend notices served and you will also have the opportunity to make representation to the Scottish Ministers during the appeal process.

Where an appeal is submitted against a notice we will advise you of this and inform you on how you can monitor progress. Following an appeal decision, we will advise of any further action we will take, as appropriate.
