Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (Section 172) As Amended by the Planning and Compensation Act 1991
Enforcement notice - 20/00230/PPD
Served by: North Northamptonshire Council
1. This notice
is issued by the Council because it appears to them that there has been a breach of planning control, within paragraph (a) of section 171A (1) of the above Act, at the land described below. They consider that it is expedient to issue this notice, having regard to the provisions of the Development Plan and to other material planning considerations. The Annex at the end of the notice and the enclosures to which it refers contains important additional information.
2. Land to which this notice relates
The land at 28 College Street, lrthlingborough, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire NN9 5TX ("the Land"), shown edged in red on the Site Plan.
3. The matters which appear to constitute the breach of planning control
Without planning permission, the demolition of a wall within a Conservation Area between the approximate positions marked A and B on the attached plan.
4. The reasons for issuing this notice
It appears to the Council that the breach of planning control was carried out within the last four years without planning permission.
The Council considers it expedient having regard to the provisions of the development plan and to all other material considerations to issue an Enforcement
Notice pursuant to Sections 172(1) of The Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) to remedy the breaches of planning control for the following reasons:
- The demolition of the wall has led to the loss of a feature which forms part of the distinctive North Northamptonshire historic environment. The demolition is therefore contrary to Policy 2 of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy 2011 -2031 and Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2019.
The Council does not consider that planning permission should be given, because planning conditions could not overcome these material planning objections to the development.
5. What you are required to do
- Rebuild the wall to a height of 1.8 metres between points A and B as indicated on the site plan using reclaimed bricks to match original materials as shown in images W1 Appendix A (Nursery Gardens elevation) and W2 Appendix A (College Street elevation)
- Remove all resultant debris from step (1) from the Land.
6. Time for compliance
A compliance period of 2 months for completion of all the steps in paragraph 5, from the day on which this notice takes effect.
7. When this notice takes effect
This notice takes effect on 12 April 2021 unless an appeal is made against it beforehand.
