    Hi,

    Small development, peed off with builder, trying to get estate finished, want to threaten him with reporting him to enforcement dept at the local county council.

    Infact how many years do we have to do this since? and is it X amount of years from the date planning permission was given?

    TIA

    You can submit a letter to the Enforcement Dept at any time and they will then decide on the course of action. If the report/allegation is vexacious, they may deem it warrants no action, so for this reason, if you feel so strongly about it, I would advise you seek out a local AT/Arch to act on your behalf.
    Chances are that, as you said the builder won't finish certain items, the council are aware and obviously they have not taken charge yet of the estate? I'd say, without putting a damper on your issues, your builder is in a VERY long line of "rogue" developers on their list and you might just have to wait it out.
    To satisfy yourself of the "rules", refer to the attached, PART VIII, Enforcement fom Section 151 onwards.. Happy reading:D

    Thanks for info. The council won't be taking it in charge as it's a management company, and we don't want them to anyway. Yet we do want the road finished and maybe some landscaping, the builder is still financially viable and in business so. We would like for the council lto enforce the planning permission they gave.

    planning permission last for 5 years from the date of final grant, so the builder has 5 years to comply with conditions.
    After this the council can enact bond measures to ensure work is done, assuming that a bond has been paid.
