The landowners have been requested to rectify the breach of planning control, however no action has been taken.

On 6 January 2021 the Planning Manager (Enforcement & Trees) authorised the issue of an Enforcement Notice.

Site Location: 340 Kensington Street Bradford West Yorkshire BD8 9LJ

Breach of Planning Control: Unauthorised single storey extension

Circumstances: In August 2019 the Council received an enquiry regarding an extension to the property.

An inspection showed that a single storey extension had been constructed, for which the Council had no record of planning permission having been granted.

A retrospective planning application for the single storey extension, reference 19/03989/HOU, was refused by the Council in November 2019. No appeal was made against the Council's decision.

The owner of the property has been requested to rectify the breach of planning control, however no action has been taken.

On 20 January 2021 the Planning Manager (Enforcement & Trees) authorised the issue of an Enforcement Notice. It is considered expedient to instigate Enforcement (Legal) Action as the unauthorised single storey extension is detrimental to visual amenity by virtue of its design, size and appearance, contrary to Policies DS1, DS3 and DS5 of the Council's adopted Core Strategy Development Plan Document, the Council's adopted Householder Supplementary Planning Document and the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework.

66 - 68 Lumb Lane Bradford BD8 7QZ Report to the District Planning Panel

24 February 2021

Item Number: F Ward: MANNINGHAM Recommendation: THAT THE REPORT BE NOTED

Enforcement Reference: 19/00697/ENFUNA

Site Location: 66 - 68 Lumb Lane Bradford West Yorkshire BD8 7QZ

Breach of Planning Control: Without planning permission the installation of externally mounted roller shutters, shutter boxes and associated guide rails, black hoarding and a projecting fascia board on the front elevation of the premises.

Circumstances: Following an enquiry received in this office in August 2019, a site visit revealed the above breach of planning control. Despite a request from the Local Planning Authority, the owner of the property took no action to rectify the matter.

It is considered expedient to issue an Enforcement Notice as the roller shutters, shutter boxes, associated guide rails, hoarding and fascia board obscure the entire frontage of the building when lowered, which combined with the projection of the shutter boxes, hoarding and fascia board results in a significantly dominant and incongruous appearance that is readily apparent in public views. The development has a significantly harmful effect on the appearance of the building and the quality of the street scene and Eldon Place Conservation Area.

The Planning Manager (Enforcement and Trees) authorised enforcement action on the 17 December 2020 requiring the removal of the externally mounted roller shutters, shutter boxes, associated guide rails, black hoarding and projecting fascia board. Report to the District Planning Panel

Item Number: G Ward: BINGLEY Recommendation: THAT THE REPORT BE NOTED

Enforcement Reference: 17/00834/ENFCON

Site Location: Land At Stanley Street Bingley West Yorkshire

Breach of Planning Control: Failure to comply with the requirement of Condition 11 of planning permission 15/05801/FUL with respect to landscaping.

Circumstances: The Local Planning Authority was made aware that a condition of consent permitting residential development of eight houses had not been met with respect to landscaping and specifically tree planting to mitigate the impact of the building on the landscape, provide replacement for existing trees removed to accommodate the development and in the interests of visual amenity. Despite a detailed planting scheme having been submitted and approved and correspondence with the owner the tree planting has not been carried out and the properties subject of the approval are now occupied in breach of the condition.

The Planning Manager (Enforcement and Trees) authorised the issuing of an Enforcement Notice under delegated powers on 15 December 2020. Report to the District Planning Panel

Land At Keighley Road Silsden Report to the District Planning Panel

24 February 2021

Item Number: H Ward: CRAVEN Recommendation: THAT THE REPORT BE NOTED

Enforcement Reference: 19/00400/ENFUNA

Site Location: Land At Grid Ref 404072 445066 Keighley Road Silsden West Yorkshire

Breach of Planning Control: Without planning permission the erection of six timber cabins

Circumstances: The Local Planning Authority was made aware of works to erect timber cabins on agricultural land outside Silsden. The unauthorised erection of timber cabins is considered to be an inappropriate use of the land which is designated Green Belt. The erection of the cabins fails to preserve the openness of the Green Belt in this location and is significantly detrimental to the character and visual amenity of this lowland pasture area. Despite correspondence sent to the owner the timber cabins remain in situ and unauthorised.

The Planning Manager (Enforcement and Trees) authorised the issuing of an Enforcement Notice under delegated powers on 23 November 2020. Report to the District Planning Panel

20/01001/ENFCOU

Land At Lippersley Lane Silsden Report to the District Planning Panel

24 February 2021

Item Number: I Ward: CRAVEN Recommendation: THAT THE REPORT BE NOTED

Enforcement Reference: 20/01001/ENFCOU

Site Location: Land At Grid Ref 405569 448423 Lippersley Lane Silsden West Yorkshire

Breach of Planning Control:

Unauthorised mixed use of land for agriculture and as an operating base for a business that carries out landscaping and agricultural contracting and imports rubble, waste and soils onto the land for storage and processing

Circumstances: An agricultural field has been occupied by a contractor for the purposes of a business as described in the unauthorised use. Waste processing equipment has been stationed on and operated on the land, the contractor has been challenged and a meeting has also taken place on site to discuss the issues. No planning application has been received to date. The operator has confirmed that it is proposed to continue with the unauthorised mixed use and to apply for consent in due course. The mixed use is considered harmful and inappropriate in this sensitive location.

The unauthorised mixed use is an inappropriate use in the Green Belt and harms openness, detracts from the character of the landscape, does not provide a satisfactory means of access and egress to the nearby road network, impacts on other users of Lippersley Lane public right of way, degrades upland pasture and has not demonstrated net gains to biodiversity contrary to policies GB1 (policy retained from the adopted unitary development plan), EN2, EN4, SC8 and SC9 of the Council's Core Strategy Development Plan Document and Paragraphs 134 to 136 and 143 to 146 of the NPPF (Section 13 Protecting Green Belt Land) and National Planning Policy for Waste. A planning enforcement notice was therefore authorised by the Planning Manager (Enforcement and Trees) on 26 November 2020. Report to the District Planning Panel
