Agenda item

10.1

The Director of Development Services submitted a report informing Members of a breach of planning control in relation to the unauthorised decking to the rear of 253 Meadowhead and making representations on any further action required.

10.2

The report stated that a complaint was received regarding the erection of a timber decked area in the rear garden of 253 Meadowhead. Following a site visit, and discussion with the property owners on 22^nd June 2012, correspondence was entered into with them, confirming that, because the decked area was more than 300mm above ground level, it did not meet the requirements of Class E of the Permitted Development Order 2008, and that, given the impact on the amenities, and privacy, of the users of the rear gardens to 251 and 255 Meadowhead, it was unlikely that planning permission would be granted and they should arrange to have it removed.

10.3

RESOLVED: That the Director of Development Services or Head of Planning be authorised to take any appropriate action including, if necessary, enforcement action and the institution of legal proceedings to secure the removal of the unauthorised timber decking at 253 Meadowhead.
