Planning Permission: Fines
(asked on 10th November 2026) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much money his Department has received in each of the last five years from each Local Authority in England from fines resulting from enforcement against breaches of planning control.
This question was answered on 13th November 2026
HM Treasury does not hold the information requested. Where such monies are ultimately paid into the Consolidated Fund, they are received through the relevant central government departments and bodies, rather than directly from Local Authorities. The information provided to HM Treasury as part of the routine surrender of receipts does not separately identify amounts arising from enforcement against breaches of planning control, either in aggregate or by individual Local Authority.
