Summary ofIncoming andClosed EnforcementCases byMonth.

The Committee received a report providing a summary of incoming and closed enforcement cases by month.

The Planning Development and Enforcement Manager presented to the Committee, within the Officer presentation slides (published as a supplement to the agenda), with a table providing a breakdown of closures over the past 12 months.

The Committee considered the following matters:

a)            The Planning Development and Enforcement Manager explained that ‘action taken’ with respect to enforcement cases is considered as a notice being issued. He stated that Officers endeavour to work proactively with applicants/owners to reach resolutions, with the issuing of notices being treated as a last resort for dealing with cases.

b)            The Planning Development and Enforcement Manager explained that there are a number of reasons for why a case might be closed without action taken, which were set out within the table.

The Committee noted the report and the additional breakdown information provided within the table.
