Councillor Hipkin and did not participate in the discussion or decision making.

The Committee received a report from the Principal Planner regarding erection of a roof over external amenity space, insertion of two rooflights and conversion of a carport to playroom/storage area contrary to a planning condition requiring the space to be reserved and maintained for car parking.

It was recommended that no further action should be taken and the enforcement case closed. Members were advised insufficient harm was identified to justify enforcement action and that it was neither expedient nor in the public interest to serve an Enforcement Notice and/or a Breach of Condition Notice to seek to remedy the breaches of planning control identified.

The Committee:

Resolved (by 7 votes to 0 - unanimously) to accept the officer recommendation to take no further action and close the enforcement case file.
