To advise the Committee on Appeal decisions determined by the Department for Communities and Local Government during May 2009.

The Committee received a report that detailed the outcome of appeal decisions determined by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) in May 2009.

It was noted the period above fifty per cent of the cases determined by the DCLG had been allowed.

The Committee was advised that when an Enforcement Notice was issued it set out the measures that were required to achieve compliance. Therefore if an Enforcement Notice was upheld on appeal a further Compliance Notice was not required.

It was requested that the Committee should receive a copy of the Enforcement Notice issued in relation to 98 Hewitt Road.

In response to a query the Committee was advised that officers were currently carrying out a piece of work mapping decisions made in the East and West of the Borough. It was anticipated a report providing an analysis of the information gathered would be submitted to the Committee in September.

RESOLVED:

1. That the report be noted.

2. That the Enforcement Notice with respect to 98 Hewitt Road be circulated to the Committee.
