Minutes:
The Committee
received a report from the Planning Enforcement
Officer requesting that members instruct officers to withdraw the enforcement
notice and close the enforcement investigation.
A Planning
Enforcement Notice was served for the removal of a loft dormer following
retrospective refusal of planning permission and subsequent dismissal of an
appeal by the Planning Inspectorate. New information had to come to light
during the enforcement appeal process that on the balance of probabilities
shows the dormer likely to be immune from enforcement action.
The Committee:
Unanimously
resolved to accept the officer recommendation:
i.
Authorised the
withdrawal of the enforcement notice as per withdrawal notice description set
out below:
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Cambridge City Council, in accordance with its
powers contained in Section 173A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as
amended by the Planning and Compensation Act 1991) (and without prejudice to
its powers to issue another Enforcement Notice) HEREBY WITHDRAW the
Enforcement Notice issued on the 15th August 2017 relating to 83 Searle Street,
Cherry Hinton, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB4 3DD (“the Premises”) which
required you within the period of six calendar months from the date when the
Enforcement Notice would take effect to: -
·
Permanently remove the rear loft dormer erected
(outlined in blue on attached plan for identification purposes only) at the
Land.
·
Make good the works undertaken and restore the roof
to its former condition using matching materials and colour of the existing
roof.
·
Remove all resulting materials from the premises.
The said Enforcement Notice was appealed against to the Planning
Inspectorate before it came into effect from 14th September 2017. The said
Enforcement Notice has no effect as it has been withdrawn due to information
received by the local planning authority as part of the said appeal. Dated this
6th of December 2017
ii.
Authorised the Head of Planning Services (after
consultation with the Head of Legal Services) to draft and issue the withdrawal
notice and notify the Planning Inspectorate of the decision.
