Enforcement

If any type of Enforcement Notice is served, you must act quickly. They are the start of a legal process and you need to instruct a specialist lawyer, since a failure to comply will lead to criminal proceedings.

Richard Max & Co can help you deal with enforcement issues by

  • Establishing if a breach has occurred through an objective analysis of the site and planning consent conditions
  • Drafting an appeal to suspend the timeframe in order to submit a planning application or present the case as to why permission should be granted
  • Acting as an advocate at a Public Inquiry or in the Magistrates Court
