This authority has been delegated to me through the Local Scheme of Nomination for the Executive Director for Place.

The case has been closed because the external area of land in front of building has been cleared in compliance with the enforcement notice. There is still some storage in the building but the harm to the amenity of the area which lies within a conservation area has been remedied. There is no justification taking the matter any further.

Prosecution for failing to fully comply with requirements of the notice. Rejected as enough has been done to remedy visual harm and therefore it is not in public interest to pursue further.
