"Time-limits for issuing an enforcement notice

2.4 Enforcement action in respect of all breaches of planning control is subject to timelimits. Section 171 B of the 1990 Act specifies these time-limits as follows:

• for operational development - four years from the date on which the operations were "substantially completed". This applies to all breaches of planning control consisting in the carrying out without planning permission of all forms of "operational development", namely, the carrying out of building, engineering, mining or other operations in, on, over or under land;

• for breaches of planning control consisting in the change of use of any building (which, for the purposes of the 1990 Act, includes part of a building) to "use as a single dwellinghouse" - four years from the date of the breach. This time-limit applies either where the change to use as a single dwellinghouse involves development without planning permission, or where it involves a failure to comply with a condition or limitation subject to which planning permission has been granted"
