Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decisions:

Further to Minute No. 66 of the meeting of the Planning Committee held on 17 October 2018, the Cabinet considered the report of the Chief Planning Officer which provided details of the urgent decision taken by the Leader of the Council to approve the removal of further permitted development rights at The Cottages, 1-3 Chapel Lane, Netherton following the revocation of Lawful Development Certificate DC/2014/01497 for the ‘proposed development for the erection of proposed buildings and means of enclosure incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse’.

 

Decision Made: 

 

That the decision of the Leader of the Council be noted.

 

Reasons for Decision: 

 

The removal of permitted development rights via Article 4 direction is necessary to prevent any further or alternative buildings being erected at the premises following the removal of that existing, causing continued public concern over harm to amenity.

 

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:

 

The alternative is to not serve an Article 4 direction, which would allow the landowner to erect further buildings potentially injurious to amenity whilst undermining the steps taken to revoke a Lawful Development Certificate for the erection of buildings and means of enclosure incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse (ref. DC/2014/01497).
