Breach of Condition Notices

If you fail to comply with a condition in a planning permission partially or completely, you may receive a Breach of Condition Notice from your local planning authority. This will need careful attention and prompt action to ensure that it does not have a major impact on your development.

Consequences Of A Breach Of Planning Condition

The Breach of Planning Notice is served on the person responsible for causing the breach, usually the developer. Failure to comply with the notice can lead to a fine being charged on a daily basis, therefore, costs can soon mount up.

What Action Should You Take?

If you have been served with a Breach of Condition Notice it is essential to consider urgently the means of complying with the notice. Unless you are experienced, there are many pitfalls for you to avoid but it may be possible to vary or omit the condition from the planning permission in order to resolve the problem and allow you to continue with the development.
