[Massplanners] Town Planner Enforcement Authority

[Ryan Christenberry]

Very little unless your zoning bylaw prescribes otherwise.  The Zoning Enforcement Officer (typically the Building Commissioner or Inspector) should not issue permits on any project that is not in compliance with subdivision conditions.

Planners,

What enforcement authority do we actually have as planners?  Can we shut projects down for non-compliance with Subdivision conditions?  Or must we ask the Zoning Enforcement Official to do so?
