ENFORCEMENT AND POSSIBLE UNAUTHORISED DEVELOPMENT – FORMER COTTAGE TO THE REAR OF JOB’S FARM, NO. 100 SANDY LANE, FARNBOROUGH Minutes: The Committee received the Head
of Planning’s Report No. PLN1559 which provided an update with regard to the
position on the former cottage which lay to the rear of Job’s Farmhouse on
Sandy Lane, Farnborough. The Committee was informed that
the former cottage, was a Grade II listed building. It was reported that the
cottage was in a poor state of repair and, despite some protection work three
years previously, now required some further work in the near future to stabilise
the structure. In June, 2015 the Committee had given authority for the Council
to serve an Urgent Works Notice on the building should the owner not take
appropriate measures to secure it. The decision to take
enforcement action, should it have been necessary, had instigated a dialogue
with the owner who had stated his intention to repair and restore the building
for use as an annexe to the house. The owner had informed the Council that he
was currently preparing to submit a planning application to the Council. More
importantly, it was reported that considerable measures had now been taken to
stabilise the building. A framework of scaffolding had been erected around and
through the most vulnerable parts of the building, supporting the walls and the
temporary corrugated iron roof. The site had been inspected by the Council’s
Conservation Officer and the Chief Building Control Surveyor, who had confirmed
that the works were comprehensive and indeed superior to those that could have
been insisted upon through an Urgent Works Notice. It was therefore not considered
necessary, at this stage, to take any formal enforcement action. The former
cottage had been stabilised and the Council had fulfilled its duty to protect
the listed building. RESOLVED: That the Head of Planning’s Report No. PLN1559 be noted. |
