Enforcement and possible unauthorised development PDF 219 KB

To consider the Head of Economy, Planning and Strategic Housing’s Report No. EPSH2207 (copy attached) which reports on cases of planning enforcement and possible unauthorised development.

Minutes:

Enforcement Reference No.		Description of Breach

21/00132/AERIAL & 21/00134/AERIAL		Satellite dishes installed on the front elevations of Nos. 18 & 20 Albuhera Road, Wellesley, Aldershot. Due to the Article 4 Direction placed on the Wellesley development in January 2021, planning permission was required. However, considering the size, position and absence of visible external cables, the development was considered acceptable if a planning application had been submitted. It was noted that the owners had been invited to submit applications but, to date, had not done so. No further action be taken.
21/00062/RESWRK		An outbuilding erected in the rear garden of No. 50 Ayling Lane, Aldershot, which required planning permission as it was over 2.5m high and within 2m of the boundary. Due to the position, design of the outbuilding, and the lack of harmful impact on the neighbours from the mass/bulk or overlooking, the development would have been deemed acceptable if a planning application had been submitted. No further action be taken.

RESOLVED: That the Head of Economy, Planning and Strategic Housing’s Report No. EPSH2207 be noted.
