Development Management Committee

Monday evening saw the October meeting of the City Council's Development Management Committee. There was an item which asked for planning permission for a retrospective application where the work had already started. I sought a reassurance from officers that there were not buildings all over the city that had not been built to plans agreed with the city council. I was happy to hear that the council is confident that they would catch anyone who either built without the appropriate permissions or did not build to the plans which were approved. It is also worth noting that there could be significant costs involved in being caught building something without the appropriate approvals.
