Planning Enforcement Team
The Merton Council Planning Enforcement Team is addressing planning breaches and untidy land notices.
Merton Council's Planning Enforcement Team, which ensures compliance with planning regulations, recently issued 11 notices for planning breaches and untidy land between February and July 2025. The Merton Council Development and Planning Applications Committee noted a report on these activities at its meeting in July 2025, detailing actions taken against unauthorised developments and unsightly properties.
Among the 11 notices served by the team were five untidy land notices issued under Section 215 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. These actions were part of the council's stance against unsightly properties. No further discussions or decisions regarding the Planning Enforcement Team are currently scheduled in the supplied material.
