Local authorities have powers to investigate and resolve possible planning breaches. A breach can be either when development is happening without planning permission, or if a development with planning permission is not following the conditions of the planning permission.

The Local Development Plan process has several stages. The entire process usually takes several years. There are opportunities for input and comment at every stage. You can find out what stage your local planning authority is at on their website. Some planning authorities will add you to their email list to you up to date on their progress.
