Minutes:
The Committee received a report requesting authorisation to take formal enforcement action.
The report sought authority that prosecution proceedings be authorised to
for failure to comply with the notice served.
Site: 49 Woodlark Road
Breach: Non-compliance with
Section 215 notice issued for condition of land (Enforcement reference:
EN/0047/14)
The Committee received representations from the following:
· Mr Moore
· Mrs Nichollas
The representations covered the following issues:
i.
Requested action be taken.
49 Woodlark Road had been neglected for many years.
ii.
Property neglect led to the following concerns:
· Structural
problems at 49 Woodlark Road directly affected neighbours.
· Pests/vermin.
· Cars in the
driveway were a fire risk.
iii.
The property owner was a nice guy
who and a hoarder. Problems had arisen due to his reclusive nature, which made
it difficult to engage with him. Suggested the Council take action if the
property owner were unable/unwilling to.
The Committee:
Resolved (7 votes
to 0 with 1 abstention) to accept the officer recommendation to give
delegated authority to the Head of Planning and the Head of Legal Services
jointly, to take prosecution action on behalf of the Council for failure to
comply with the requirements of the Section 215 Notice.
