Submitted report by the Executive Director (Economy and Communities) on a Notice under Section 127 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 requiring compliance with a condition attached to planning permission (ref: 16/00488/PP).
Planning permission was granted on 23 June 2016 (ref: 16/00488/PP) for the demolition of a dwellinghouse, including boundary walls to the front and rear. The permission was granted subject to two conditions. Condition 2 sets out the requirement for timber screen fencing to be erected around the site frontages following demolition in the interest of visual amenity and for the designs for said fencing to be submitted to North Ayrshire Council for written approval.
The Council became aware that the dwellinghouse had been demolished in November 2017 and following inspection, most recently in February 2018, revealed that Condition 2 had not been complied with. The site has been enclosed by heras fencing and not timber screen fencing and the design details of the fencing were not submitted to the Council for consideration and approval.
Councillor McNicol, seconded by Councillor Clarkson, moved that in the interest of amenity, to issue a Breach of Condition Notice requiring the following action, in respect of Condition 2 of the planning permission dated 23 June 2016 (ref: 16/00488/PP);
(i) Submit for the written approval of North Ayrshire Council as Planning Authority, design details of the 2m high screen fencing within 4 weeks of the Notice being served; and
(ii) Erect the screen fencing as may be approved, along Sharon Street and Wee James Street within 6 weeks of the Notice being served.
There being no amendment, the motion was declared carried.
