ENFORCEMENT ACTION AUTHORISED

Oral representations in support of enforcement action being taken were received at the meeting.

A letter from the applicant's solicitor had been circulated and the Chairman allowed sufficient time for Members to peruse the document.

The Legal Representative informed Members that prior approval of the application had clearly not been granted however, works had continued which had not been completed in accordance with the application.  Members were informed at the meeting that works were in progress to bring the development in line with the details in the application.  The matter for Members to consider at this stage was whether it was expedient to authorise enforcement action. 

Comments from Ward Member Councillor William Huntington-Thresher in support of enforcement action being authorised were reported at the meeting.

Members having considered the report and representations, RESOLVED that ENFORCEMENT ACTION BE AUTHORISED TO REMOVE THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INSTALLATION.

REASON: The development is considered to be detrimental to the visual amenities of the area, contrary to Policies BE1 and BE22 of the Unitary Development Plan.
