Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: No

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 removal of a short strip of hedge to form the access is actually on private land not the highway, causing no highways danger. The track is not readily viewable from the public realm and therefore has limited visual impact in the area. These works also were carried out years ago. Therefore, there is no justification for taking action.

 

Alternative options considered:

Formal action. It is not in the public interest to take action

Interests and Nature of Interests Declared:
