GOVERNMENT ISSUES PROPOSALS TO UPDATE AND IMPROVE PLANNING ENFORCEMENT
APPEAL PROCEDURES

Proposals to update and improve the system of planning  enforcement 
appeal procedures were published today for consultation.  In answer to a
Parliamentary Question from Michael Jabez  Foster MP  (Hastings and Rye),
Planning Minister Beverley Hughes said:  "I have today issued a
consultation paper with proposals to  improve  the effectiveness and
efficiency of processing planning  enforcement  appeals in England.
Comments are invited by 18 February 2000.  "The improvements are proposed
as part of the Government's  continuing drive to modernise and streamline
the planning system. The  proposals  are intended to improve the Planning
Inspectorate's service to its  customers. They aim to increase the
efficiency of the  enforcement  appeals process in the interests of all
involved by reducing the  time taken to determine appeals and standardise
procedures between  enforcement appeals and ordinary planning appeals
wherever  practicable.  NOTES FOR EDITORS  1. This paper is mainly
concerned with changes to procedures  for  determining enforcement appeals
made under section 174 of the  Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as
amended by the Planning and  Compensation Act 1991. The Town and Country
Planning  (Enforcement)(Inquiries Procedure) Rules 1992 and the Town  and
 Country Planning (Enforcement Notices and  Appeals)Regulations 1991 (as
amended by SI 1992/1904 and SI 1992/1492) apply to  these  appeals. Some
of them are dealt with by means of a hearing, to  which the Enforcement
Hearing Code of Practice applies.  2. Copies of the consultation paper
can be obtained from the  following address: DETR Literature, PO Box 236,
Wetherby,  West  Yorkshire, LS 23 7NB.
