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 fence is not considered harmful enough to the character of the area for it to be in the public interest to enforce.

 

Alternative options considered:

Formal action considered. Whilst formal action might be successful there is some doubt. Due to limited resources, it is considered appropriate to use these resources on other cases causing more significant harm.
