Decision Maker: Officer Delegated Decision

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Case Ref: 

ENF/2019/0046 

Nature of Enquiry: 

Change of use of facilities building to mixed use dwelling/facilties building. 

Location: 

Hawkes Field Farm Hillside Hilton Dorset DT11 0DN 

 

Decision:

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 use of the building is not immune because the use was concealed from the Council in 2018. However, a planning inspector considered under application 2/2020/0782/FUL that a residential dwelling on the site was justified. Planning permission has been granted for a new dwelling house but requires by condition the cessation of the use of the facilities building when the the new house becomes occupied. 

Alternative options considered:

Formal action rejected as there is a justification for there to be a dwelling on the land.
