  Thank you for your recent communication.
  
  The matter you raise will be investigated. A Planning Investigation Officer will visit the site
  and make enquires to find out whether a breach of planning control has occurred.
  Depending on his findings, we will decide whether any action is necessary.
  
  Please note the following:
  • It is possible that permission is not required under planning legislation. Many minor
  developments can be carried out under "permitted development" rights. However, if it is
  required, we may invite an application without prejudice.
  • If there is no permission, legal action is not automatic and we are likely to take such
  action only if the breach causes sufficient planning harm. We cannot take into account
  civil issues such as private rights of way, the position of boundaries and covenants on
  the deeds of a property.
  • Normally, we cannot stop unauthorised building works or uses immediately. Matters
  often take time to investigate thoroughly. If a legal notice is served, the recipient has a
  right of appeal which can lengthen the process considerably.
  We will do our best to resolve your concerns as quickly as possible. If you require further
  information or have not received confirmation within eight weeks, please contact the above
  named officer.
  Yours
