crookesy   10 #13 Posted April 13, 2015 Hi all . It is 100% article 4 and if the landlord hasn't applied for permission ( which would get knocked back the very same day) they WILL eventually make him replace them with new wooden windows. I deal with the conservation and planning officers in the nether edge area more or less everyday as we are always replacing sash windows down there. Out of interest who is it you have been comunicating with ? Zoe or Ruth ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
OopNorth   10 #14 Posted April 13, 2015 That's great to hear. I suppose the enforcement must just take longer to process than I thought.  It's not Ruth or Zoe crookesy. Am communicating with someone from planning enforcement, not planning permission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
crookesy   10 #15 Posted April 13, 2015 If you want to pm me the address I will mention it today when I speak to one of them. They are the people who you need to get in touch with . It's there job to enforce article 4 in that area and they both seem to do it well from previous experience Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jeffrey Shaw   83 #16 Posted April 14, 2015 JeffREy, perhaps you might be able to comment on whether the OP might be able to get recourse from the council in their failure to carry out their statutory duty. Perhaps- on grounds of maladministration and/or breach of statutory duty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
montie   10 #17 Posted April 14, 2015 Unfortunately, I don't think the timescales that you are talking about are in any way out of the ordinary.  Off the top of my head, I can think of an unauthorised development in a nearby authority, development carried out in 2011, enforcement notice served 2014.  I would suspect there's only maladministration if they fail to take enforcement action after receipt of a complaint within the period when such action can be taken (either 4 years or 10 years depending on the type of development) OR if there is significant and ongoing harm to amenity (eg unreasonable noise from an unauthorised use) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
OopNorth   10 #18 Posted April 15, 2015 Thanks all. I'm amazed this is the standard timeline, but it's reassuring to know that it will be enforced (eventually) one day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
