Works to Property at Bridge Road, Sarisbury Green

Decision Maker: Executive

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

This report provides a detailed account of the action undertaken to date to remedy untidy land at this site and the failure to comply with a Section 215 Notice issued under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. The report subsequently makes recommendations as laid out under Section 219 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 for the Council to take ‘Direct Action’ to ensure compliance with the Section 215 Notice.

 

The property known as 98 Bridge Road Sarisbury Green is a semi-detached dwelling with extensive gardens.

 

The dwelling has been unoccupied for several years and there are abandoned cars left in the front and rear gardens. The rear garden is in an extremely overgrown state with high trees some in excess of 60 feet high. The poor state of the property has a negative impact upon the surrounding neighbours and the amenity of the area.

 

The Council have carried out extensive enquires and attempted to engage with the property owner to resolve the matter. The Council served a Section 215 Notice under the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 which gave directions to improve the condition of the property.

 

The Council has taken legal action with an individual sentenced at Magistrates Court on three occasions. The fines and costs are still outstanding.

 

The Council has powers laid out within Section 219 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 for the Council to take ‘Direct Action’ to ensure compliance with the Section 215 Notice.

 

The cost of carrying out these works will be registered as a local land charge on the Local Land Charges Register to ensure recovery of Council costs in the long term.

 

This report sets out the justification for taking ‘Direct Action’ and requests that the required funding is allocated.

Decision:

RESOLVED that the Executive authorises the use of sufficient funds for the ‘Direct Action’ set out in this report to be undertaken under Section 219 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990 to ensure compliance with the Section 215 Notice issued under the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
