  • Works to regularise a new dwelling in open countryside in rural Northants. The dwelling is one of two that have been constructed incorrectly, both of which were subject to enforcement notices.

  • A major enforcement case in Central Bedfordshire relating to an extension to a waste transfer station and commercial site.
