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 use of the building is not immune because the use was
concealed from the Council in 2018. However, a planning inspector considered
under application 2/2020/0782/FUL
that a residential dwelling on the site was justified. Planning permission has
been granted for a new dwelling house but requires by condition the cessation
of the use of the facilities building when the the
new house becomes occupied. 

Alternative options considered

Formal action rejected as there is a justification for there
to be a dwelling on the land.
