Content

This decision is taken under delegated powers set out in
Paragraph 145 of the Officer Scheme of Delegation in the Council’s
constitution, which grants delegated authority to undertake all action in order to regulate any actual, perceived or potential
breach of any of the Town and Country Planning Legislation including:

 

(f) to determine whether or not to
take and/or to cease action whether because in his/her opinion the breach is
trivial, there is insufficient demonstrable harm and/or, it is not expedient to
take / continue to take action

 

This authority has been delegated to me through the Local
Scheme of Nomination for the Executive Director for Place.

 

Reasons for the decision

The raised area does not harm the visual amenity of the area
and is not more dominant than the remaining raised land within the curtilage of
the property. The harm is considered less than substantial.

 

Alternative options considered

Formal action, the harm having been ascertained as less than
substantial means there is no public interest to take the matter further.
