Nature of Enquiry: Alleged building raised platform more than 30 cm

Location: 11 Davis Gardens Blandford Forum DT11 7UX

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.

The raised area does not harm the visual amenity of the area and is not more dominant than the remaining raised land within the curtilage of the property. The harm is considered less than substantial.

Formal action, the harm having been ascertained as less than substantial means there is no public interest to take the matter further.
