Planning Breach - Advice Please

Just wondering if anyone could offer any help or advice regarding a major planning breach.

The council has been contacted numerous times to report it to both the Planning and the Enforcement Team and contacted local MPs (one of whom has been very helpful) but any other help would be much appreciated.

Brief details of the breach are that a house which was refused planning has been built (to a different and less likely to be approved spec to the plans which were rejected). A wind turbine which has never been subject to a planning application has been put up & is in operation. The Council have put an enforcement notice on the owner/applicant to cease all work but he now has furniture being delivered so looks like people will be moving in. Doubtful that waste water system has been registered with SEPA and the building is unlikely to have been assessed with regards to council tax & water charges.

If anyone has any experience of what more can be done in these circumstances or who might be able to help, it'd be really appreciated. Thank you.

Keep getting on to the planning enforcement team. They are the ones who will eventually sort it. however it can take years. Do you remember the farmer who built a home hidden behind straw bales in Surrey (England)? Took over ten years for the council to get the building demolished. Just keep the pressure on so they cant 'forget' about it.

Write letters to the planning dept. Phone calls don't work as its 'I was never told.' . If there is to be a meeting, make the council aware that you will be there. A neighbour and myself were having a problem with a new build. Planning permission for 1 house, suddenly it was to be 2 houses. We fought and won. Don't give up.

What difference does it make, that's the problem with folks today, nowt better to do than stick their noses in, live and let live,

That's a very facetious comment

By saying let your neighbour flout planning law you are advocating a mild form of anarchy https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/anarchy

We have laws for a reason........it's called society. If you don't agree with it move to a country with no government and ruled by militia, You would soon miss the rule of law and society in general.

nonsense utter nonsense
