Charging CIL for works without planning permission

Hi,

I have a scenario where planning permission has been granted for a CIL liable development of which the levy has been paid. However, planning enforcement have been out on site and have discovered that since payment of CIL building works have continued, but not to the submitted plans. The building (block of flats) is now larger in size which means CIL is due for the additional GIA.

The applicants have been informed that a new planning application has to be submitted to regularise the additional works that have taken place but they do not want to do this.

Our enforcement team are considering issuing an enforcement notice, if the applicant went to appeal and lost we would be able to insist on the planning application, however, if enforcement action isn't taken and a new planning application isn't submitted is there anything I can do re trying to get the levy paid for the additional GIA?
