520 _aArgues that government's review of the planning enforcement system in the Planning Green Paper was unnecessary. The enforcement of planning control was reformed in the Planning and Compensation Act 1991 following the 1989 Carnwath report. Seven years on government's planning green paper posed the question, 'Is enforcement working?', yet failed to base this upon real evidence. Presents statistics from the Planning Inspectorate and ODPM websites showing that breaches of planning control are not widespread and that when planning authorities issue enforcement notices some are not appealed. In addition, if appeals are pursued most are upheld in whole or in part. Concludes that the existing enforcement system is basically effective and that only minor changes are likely.
