Enforcement
Whether you are being investigated, have received an Enforcement Notice or wish to raise an enforcement complaint against another party, dealing with planning enforcement can be an unsettling experience.
Let us take the stress out of this process by clearly explaining your rights and options, protecting your interests, and advocating on your behalf with the council’s planning enforcement team.
PROCESS
Our team of chartered town planners have extensive experience of planning enforcement matters. If you are the subject of a planning enforcement investigation, have received a Section 16 notice, or a formal Enforcement Notice, contact us for expert advice, advocacy and professional defence.
Time is of the essence with a limited timeframe to appeal (if that is the right course of action) so contact us without delay to see how we can help. If you wish to make a complaint about a planning issue on someone else’s land, from unauthorised use to construction without planning permission, we can represent your interests and advocate on your behalf with the local authority’s planning enforcement team.
“Whaleback helped us navigate a stressful planning issue involving a disgruntled neighbour. Throughout the process, we felt we were in very safe hands; the team know their stuff and because some of them originally worked in Brighton & Hove Council's planning department, they're able to accurately predict the planning officer's response at every step of the process which helped manage expectations along the way. The team have a professional, calm manner about them and they deal in facts - even if you might not like what they're telling you. Spending a few thousand pounds to engage their services felt very painful at the time, but we can honestly say, the investment was worth every penny and we achieved the result we were after.”
