I refer to the recent appeal in respect of the above planning application.
In accordance with the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, I am enclosing herewith a copy of the report of the person appointed to consider this appeal.
The Minister has considered the report, concurs with the appointed person's conclusions, and accepts the recommendation that the appeal should be dismissed, in part, and allowed, in part, as summarised in paragraph 24 of the report. The effect of this decision is as follows:-
(a) Erection of boundary wall and concrete roof, and positioning of oil tank: Approved, subject, inter alia, to the condition that the roof should not be used as a terrace at any time; and (b) Erection of wooden fence: Refused, for the reasons referred to in paragraphs 23 and 24 of the report.
Formal notices of these decisions are enclosed herewith.
The Minister has noted the appointed person's comments in paragraph 24 in relation to removal of the fence, and has directed that the file should be referred to the Senior Planning Officer for consideration of appropriate enforcement action, having regard to the appointed person's comments in so doing.
Yours faithfully
I T Thompson Chief Executive
