How to report a suspected breach of planning control

Before contacting us, please:

  • Check to see if it is a planning matter
  • Use our website to find out if there is planning permission or if there are permitted development rights
  • Speak to the party undertaking the works

The simplest and quickest way to report a planning enforcement problem is by completing our online form.

Alternatively, you can contact us by email planningenforcement@shropshire.gov.uk.

If not using the online form, your email needs to include the following information: 

  • Your name, address and contact details
  • The precise address/location where the breach is taking place.
  • What you consider the breach of planning control to be ie works, use, activities
  • How it affects you, and the harm arising from the alleged breach
  • What solutions you consider would resolve the matter
  • Supporting information, photos, log sheets etc

In all cases, reports with insufficient information will be delayed in the registration process and may not be investigated further as we are not able to chase for supporting information.
