Enforcement and possible unauthorised development PDF 248 KB
To consider the Executive Head of Property and Growth’s
Report No. PG2517 (copy attached) which reports on cases of planning
enforcement and possible unauthorised development.

Enforcement Reference No.

Description of Breach
|
|
|
|
24/00115/OUTBDG
|
|
Outbuilding erected to the rear of No. 68 Rectory Road,
Farnborough.
A complaint had been made that an outbuilding had been
erected to the rear of No. 68 Rectory Road, which overhung the properties
abutting the boundaries and was over 3 metres in height. Upon inspection, the
outbuilding did not encroach onto neighbouring properties as it was located
over a metre away from the boundaries. However, it was over 2.5 metres in
height which was the permitted development allowance within 2 metres of a
boundary and did require planning permission. The owner was told that
planning permission was required but no application was forthcoming. Due to
the position of the outbuilding and the distance from the boundaries, had an
application been submitted, it would have been supported. It was not
therefore necessary to take enforcement action.

RESOLVED: That
the Executive Head of Property and Growth’s Report No. PG2517 be noted.

Planning (Development Management) Summary Report for the Quarter 1st January 2025 to 31st March 2025 PDF 273 KB
To
receive the Executive Head of Property and Growth’s Report No. PG2519 (copy
attached) which updates on the Performance Indicators for the Development
Management Section of Planning, and the overall workload for the Section for
the period 1st January 2025 – 31st March 2025.
Minutes:
The Committee received the Executive Head of Property and
Growth’s Report No. PG2519 which provided an update on the position with respect
to achieving performance indicators for the Development Management Section of
the Planning Service and the overall workload of the Section for the quarter
from 1st January 2025 to 31st March 2025 and for the year 2024/25.
During discussion, the Committee noted that there were two
minor errors in the Report, but these were not considered consequential. A
query was raised as to whether Rushmoor could work with neighbouring
authorities in future to align planning fees in time for Local Government
Reorganisation (LGR). The Committee were advised that statutory planning fees
were set nationally by the Government, although it could be subject to change
in the future. It was noted that a quarterly Report would be produced in future
detailing all Section 106 contributions, not just those relating to the
Wellesley development.
RESOLVED: That
the Executive Head of Property and Growth’s Report No. PG2519 be noted.
