The Council’s
Planning Enforcement Team carried out a site visit on 25 July when officers
noted that the historic stable buildings had been completely demolished and
the foundation for a new building had been excavated.
The level of demolition is
‘substantial’ and to have done this is an offence under the Planning Acts (where
planning permission is not in place for such development).
The Council has therefore issued a warning of
the likelihood of formal enforcement action, given that an offence has been
committed. It has been made clear that
the works should cease immediately (subject to making the site safe).
Planning
Enforcement officers will be visiting the site again to check that the notice to
cease works is being observed.
