The Committee received a report requesting authorisation to take formal enforcement
action.
The report sought authority to serve one Breach of Condition Enforcement
Notice and one Breach of Condition notice directed at remedying the harm caused
as a result of the breach occurring. The breaches result in an unauthorised
additional separate unit of accommodation being created and the recommendation
looks to ensure compliance in the short term and onwards.
The Committee:
Resolved (7 votes to 0 – unanimous of those
present) to accept the
officer recommendation to:
i.
Authorise an enforcement notice under S172 of the
Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) alleging that there has been a
breach of planning control within the last four years, involving the
unauthorised material change of use of the Premises into a large scale House in
Multiple Occupation, (Sui Generis), the unauthorised change of use of part of
the ground floor of the main building at the premises as a separate
self-contained unit of accommodation and the unauthorised use of the
outbuilding at the premises as a separate self-contained unit of accommodation,
specifying the steps to comply and the period for compliance set out in
paragraphs 9.2 and 9.3, for the reasons contained in paragraph 9.4.
ii.
Authorise the Head of Planning Services (after
consultation with the Head of Legal Services) to draft and issue the
enforcement notice.
iii.
Delegate authority to the Head of Planning Services
(after consultation with the Head of Legal Services) to exercise the Council’s
powers to take further action in the event of noncompliance with the
enforcement notice.
