However, it was considered crucial that the Borough Council's intention to improve the appearance of the site, as witnessed by the service of enforcement notices was fully safeguarded. The Director of Planning, Transport and Leisure reported the intention of securing the best possible improvements, in the shortest time possible, whilst ensuring that there was a fall-back ability to take enforcement action should the programme offered by the owner stall. RESOLVED: That (1) the approach set out in paragraphs 3.1 - 3.5 in the report and supplementary report of the Director of Planning, Transport and Leisure be adopted; (2) the Director of Planning, Transport and Leisure be granted delegated powers to waive, vary, withdraw or a make a substitute Notice, subject to the concurrence of the Chairman of Area 2 Planning Committee, the Chief Solicitor and in consultation with local Members; and (3) progress on these matters be reported back to the Area 2 Planning Committee in six months and at six monthly intervals thereafter, if required. |
