What is a pre-enforcement notice letter?
A pre-enforcement notice letter is a formal communication dispatched by the local authority to the property owner, landowner, or occupier, alerting them to a suspected violation of planning regulations. Receiving such letters can be quite intimidating due to their serious tone and official nature.
Typically, a pre-enforcement notice will require you to take corrective action within a specified timeframe (for instance, 28 days). Should you neglect to comply, an enforcement notice may follow. These notices often emphasize that non-compliance could be considered an offense, potentially resulting in fines that amount to tens of thousands of pounds if action is not taken.
What should I do if I receive a pre-enforcement notice letter?
Receiving a planning enforcement notice is an extremely serious issue, and must not be overlooked. Whatever you do, do not set the letter aside and forget about it.
In many cases, we can collaborate with the local authority to prevent an enforcement notice from being issued, or at the very least, postpone its issuance while we work to resolve the issue at hand.
For a number of our clients involved with enforcement notice issues, we provide a fixed fee pricing structure. This ensures peace of mind by eliminating concerns over escalating costs as the case unfolds.
