Enforcement Notice Compliance Certificates (ENCCs)
If a planning enforcement notice has been complied with, you can request an ENCC to confirm this.
An ENCC confirms that the requirements of a planning enforcement notice have been met (where they have been).
This may be useful if you are selling a property where a planning enforcement notice has been served, as it can help speed up conveyancing and the sale process. It can also provide reassurance that the notice has been complied with.
If you have received the results of a local land charges search from Lambeth, compliance with a planning enforcement notice may already be included in the search results.
