The city council can take action against untidy private land by serving a notice under Section 215 of the 1990 Town and Country Planning Act. These are sometimes referred to as "Land Maintenance Notices".
A Section 215 notice can be served on the owner and occupier of land "if it appears to the (council) that the amenity of a part of their area ... is adversely affected by the condition of (the) land". Such a notice will specify the steps to be taken for remedying the condition of the land.
Please
contact Planning or
contact the Customer Service Line to report untidy private land.
If the Council decides to serve a Section 215 notice, details are logged in our on-line Enforcement Notices database. Go to
Leicester's Planning Database page to search the Enforcement Notices database.
The council can directly remove illegally-dumped materials from highways and council land. For further information, go to:
