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 original
complaint related to works outside of approved hours and the developed into
complaints regarding the build itself. The original developer went into
administration, and the new developer has worked to address issues and
breaches. There have been no further complaints.

 

Alternative options considered

The alternative
option would be to pursue formal enforcement action. However, due to this
matter being of low planning harm, it is not expedient to pursue formal action.
This is in line with Government guidance which suggests that Local Planning
Authorities should act proportionately in responding to suspected breaches of
planning control.
