Arising thereon:
a) No. 1 in the Enforcement List (Enforcement Case ENF/16/00243/UDRU – Erection of two storey building in rear garden, 6 Forestry Houses, Chenson, Chulmleigh).
The Area Team Leader outlined the contents of the report by way of presentation highlighting the property and the unauthorised development within the rear garden. He explained that the unauthorised development was hidden from the A377 but could be viewed from other locations nearby.
The Ward Member stated that he had been in discussions with the land owners who had stated that they had paid an external organisation to submit a planning application and were unaware that this had not taken place.
It was therefore
RESOLVED that in the event that no fully validated planning application had been submitted regarding this issue within 3 months of this meeting that the Legal Services Manager be given delegated authority to take all such steps and action necessary to secure the demolition and removal of the unauthorised development including the issue of an enforcement notice and prosecution and/or Direct Action in the event of non-compliance with the notice.
