Please see the attached PDF or the full text after the ‘read more’ cut.

NTBCC Response To Draft Planning Guidance Documents
NTBCC has two general points for consideration.
- There is a need for greater consistency regarding decision-making on planning matters generally. At times decisions appear to be contradictory or are otherwise inexplicable. The Council should have in place systems that can provide internally and externally assurance that decisions have the necessary degree of consistency.
- There should be a tighter enforcement regime. The Council should review its approach to enforcement regarding planning decisions to provide reassurance that owners and developers are not able to disregard regulations and guidance without any consequences.
