Issue - meetings

Cllr Wilkinson joined the meeting.

Unauthorised storage container, material change of use of agricultural land to garden and untidy land.

The Service Manager – Development Services informed the committee that further to the publication of the report, an agent acting on behalf of the owner of the land had advised that the container would be removed by Friday the 5^th April and arrangements were currently being made for the rubble to be collected from the site but that his recommendation was unchanged. A further compliance check would be undertaken after the 5^th April, and if the breach of planning control had been addressed by the land owner, it would not be necessary to serve a notice. 

RESOLVED that:  

The Service Manager, Development Services, be authorised to take all enforcement action including the service of any necessary enforcement notices and in conjunction with the Director of Organisational Development & Democratic Services, proceedings through the courts if required to ensure the unauthorised storage container is removed and the land is tidied and returned to its lawful use.
