"But Environment Minister Alex Attwood has found a directive within planning laws that gives developers a certain time to complete a building."
Does this "completion directive" apply in England?
If so - which bit of planning law?
Locally in 2005 a developer started demolishing/ digging a prominent sensitive site so as to secure the permission - then abandoned it, portaloo and all - local authority says it has no power to act.

Yes it does - it's called a Completion Certificate in England. It is very rarely used though. Haven't got the relevant source from planning legislation to hand, but will look it up.0

Hi, apologies, it's called a Completion Notice and can be served under Section 94 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. I must emphasise again that they are rare!0
