Members were advised that the matter had been scheduled to be considered at the meeting of the Development Control Committee on 29 January 2002, but at the request of the local member it had been brought forward as an item of urgent business.
Consideration was given as to what action should be taken in respect of an unauthorised metal grill across the centre arch of a bridge which was a listed building. The work had been carried out without the benefit of listed building consent. The local member told the Committee the background to the matter.
RESOLVED :
THAT a Listed Building Enforcement Notice be served under Section 38 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 requiring the removal of the grill under the bridge from the listed structure and the necessary repair work to be carried out where the grill was affixed to the structure. Allowing 28 days as a period for compliance from the date when the notice takes effect.
