Planning Enforcement (NAPE)

Network for Planning Enforcement

Planning enforcement is an important and distinct function within the planning process.

Planning enforcement officers work at the sharp end of planning and development management.

They ensure that the consequences of decisions made as a result of planning applications being refused, or where applications havent been made in the first place, are carried through on the ground.

Enforcement staff require unique skills to ensure the effective and successful resolution of the many issues encompassed by planning enforcement.

What does NAPE do?

The purpose of NAPE is to promote and enhance the role of planning enforcement within the planning profession.

We work on a national, regional and local level to share good practice and encourage professional development.

As part of the RTPI, we develop career paths and options for continuing professional development and professional qualifications for all staff working in planning enforcement. If you are an RTPI member, you can join NAPE for free here.
