Other changes relating to enforcement
Article 8 ‑ Appeal against enforcement notice
This Article specifies revised grounds on which an appeal against an enforcement notice can be made and the procedures for making a valid appeal. It also provides that if an appeal against an enforcement notice includes a ground of appeal that planning permission ought to be granted for the development to which the notice relates or, as the case may be, that a condition or limitation alleged in the enforcement notice not to have been complied with ought to be discharged, it shall constitute a deemed planning application. The Article also requires the planning appeals commission to notify the appellant of the amount of the appropriate planning application fee and to specify the period within which it must be paid. If the fee is not paid within that period then the appeal on the planning merits will lapse and the commission will be barred from considering or determining the deemed planning application.
