Draft Planning Enforcement Policy 2026

Flintshire County Council is undertaking a public consultation on its Draft Planning Enforcement Policy and is seeking views from residents, Town and Community Councils, businesses, developers, and other interested stakeholders.   

Planning enforcement plays an important role in maintaining confidence in the planning system, protecting the built and natural environment, and ensuring development takes place in accordance with planning legislation and policy.  The Draft Policy sets out how the Council will investigate alleged breaches of planning control, how cases will be prioritised, and the range of actions that may be taken where it is considered expedient to do so.

Please note that this consultation is about the Draft Planning Enforcement Policy, not about individual enforcement cases.

All comments received will be considered and used to inform the final version of the Planning Enforcement Policy, which will be reported to the Council for approval.

Thank you for taking the time to participate in this consultation.
