 * Under Planning Legislation no criminal offence is committed for failure to comply with any of the above. As per government guidelines under Planning Policy Guidance 18 (Enforcing Planning Control), regularisation should be sought through negotiation and a notice issued as a last resort. Once a notice has been issued and the developer has failed to comply then, and only then, is a criminal offence committed. The Local Planning Authority then have two options to consider, i) prosecution action or ii) direct action.
