A Bill to make provision for increased fines for failures to comply with a notice under section 215 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
House of Commons
5 May 2021
This Bill would raise the fines for landowners who do not comply with a Section 215 notice requiring them to keep land properly maintained. By boosting penalties, it aims to encourage timely maintenance and reduce blight caused by neglected plots. It is focused on stronger penalties rather than introducing new planning controls.
The Bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it will move to committee stage, then report stage and third reading in the Commons, before moving to the Lords for consideration.
