agree  philgoddard: No notice has been served.
3 hrs
disagree  AllegroTrans: these words don't mean serve notice nor is there any hint of that in the text// it simply says 'issued' - served is over-translation
6 hrs
  -> What does "serve notice" mean to you? This would appear to be the terminology used in the UK to describe a formal notice of infringement being issued by a competent authority - see web link above.

agree  Adrian MM.
5 hrs
  -> Thanks Adrian
agree  AllegroTrans: yes it's a breach of regulations and the report may be by a third party such as a neighbour; it's then up to the authorities (the Préfet?) whether to take any further action
5 hrs
  -> Thanks AT
neutral  ph-b (X): "Report” as used in your example may apply when asking members of the public to report a breach and could probably be “back-translated” as signaler or dénoncer here, but does it reflect how official a PV is?
2 days 6 hrs
  -> Thanks. A report of a breach of building or planning regulations can be made either by a council officer or a member of the public. It's only the first stage of the process.

Reporting a planning breach
If you believe a development has breached a planning control you can contact your local planning authority. It is the local authority's responsibility to organise its own administrative process for enforcing alleged breaches of planning control.

agree  ph-b (X): Yes to "enforcement" (etc.), as "report" applies only to the public reporting a breach (= signaler or dénoncer), whereas procès-verbaux are official documents, i.e. from the authorities, which carry legal consequence
