CONSEQUENCE OF ENFORCEMENT NOTICE

April 30th, 2025 by James Goudie KC

 Section 57(1) of TCPA 1990 provides that planning permission is required for the carrying out of ANY development of land.  Section 57(4) however creates an exception. In TITCHFIELD FESTIVAL THEATRE v SoS (2025) EWHC 883 (Admin) it is held that land in respect of which an enforcement notice has been issued is allowed to revert to  a previous lawful use, without needing to go through the process of obtaining express planning permission.
