Planning Enforcement and Monitoring Plan

Last updated: 9 September 2021

8. Proactive monitoring of planning permissions

8.1 The council offers a mainly reactive planning enforcement service responding to alleged breaches of planning control. We do however proactively monitor compliance with planning conditions on key strategic development sites, this includes Biodiversity Net Gain.

8.2 Whilst the responsibility to adhere to planning permissions and comply with associated conditions lies with those undertaking the development, we recognise the importance of adopting a proactive approach to seeking compliance with planning conditions to tackle harmful breaches of planning control.

8.3 The council also has a duty to monitor mineral and waste permissions and we will also actively inspect all landfill, mineral and waste sites within Buckinghamshire in line with our statutory duties.
