9.1

The Director of Development Services submitted a report on his investigation into complaints received in respect of a breach of planning control in relation to the unauthorised extension to the rear of the Caspian Restaurant at 137 to 139 Abbeydale Road.  The report stated that the building as constructed, due to its size and appearance, was unacceptable and that the owner had not submitted a revised application that would be in accordance with planning policies.

An assessment of the breach of control considered that the extension as constructed was contrary to Policies BE5(c) and H14(a) of the Unitary Development Plan.

9.3

(b) delegated authority be given to the Head of Planning, in consultation with the Chair (Councillor Alan Law), to vary the action authorised to achieve the objectives hereby confirmed including taking action to resolve any associated breaches of planning control.
