EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL
GOVERNANCE AND SCRUTINY COMMITTEE: 24 SEPTEMBER 2010
DERELICT BUILDINGS REPORT
Report by Depute Chief Executive / Executive Director of Neighbourhood Services
1. PURPOSE OF REPORT
1.1 Further to the Governance and Scrutiny Committee of 19 March 2010, the purpose of this report is to present to Committee a report that identifies and provides relevant information on those derelict buildings within East Ayrshire which are known to the Council and which present cause for concern.
1.2 Details have been included of cases that officers have been involved with over the last 5 years as well as those that remain of concern. Details are also included within appendix 2 of those properties within the Buildings at Risk Register, (BARR).
2. DERELICT BUILDINGS
2.1 Those properties detailed within appendix 1 to this report include specifically buildings that are in a derelict condition, and not buildings which are merely untidy in their appearance or land which is similarly untidy. For the purposes of this exercise, “derelict” has been taken to comprise properties where there is a significant deterioration in the physical fabric of the building; for example by way of damage to doors, windows, elevations or roof such as to allow ingress by the weather or to encourage vandalism.
2.2 The properties referred to in this report do not necessarily represent the entirety of derelict buildings within the district. They are those properties in respect of which the Planning and Economic Development Service has received complaints or which are subject of enforcement investigation. The buildings lie within the following settlements: Catrine, Cumnock, Dalmellington, Darvel, Galston, Hurlford, Kilmarnock, Kilmaurs, Mauchline, Muirkirk, New Cumnock, Newmilns, Patna, Rankinston and Waterside (Patna).
3. BUILDINGS AT RISK REGISTER (BARR)
3.1 The Buildings at Risk Register has been in operation in Scotland since 1990 in response to a concern at the growing number of listed buildings and buildings in Conservation Areas that were vacant and had fallen into a state of disrepair. The Register is maintained by the Scottish Civic Trust on behalf of Historic Scotland, and provides information on properties of architectural or historic merit throughout the country that are considered to be at risk.
3.2 The Scottish Civic Trust (SCT) undertook two surveys in 2008 and 2009-2010 to update the Buildings at Risk Register for East Ayrshire. This resulted in a more complete database of information identifying a total of 68 buildings considered to be at risk. These buildings are in a variety of conditions and publicly or privately owned.
3.3 The purpose of the Buildings at Risk Register is to highlight buildings that the Scottish Civic Trust recommends are treated as priorities for restoration.
4. DETAILS RECORDED
4.1 Appendix 1 contains some 32 buildings together with details of the date the investigation of the site was raised, the origin of the complaint and the actions undertaken at each site.
4.2 Appendix 2 provides details of the properties identified within the recent survey report for Buildings At Risk within East Ayrshire produced by the Scottish Civic Trust.
5. CASES RESOLVED
5.1 Beyond those cases listed in Appendix 1 to this report, there are a number of properties where intervention by the planning authority or separate actions by the owners have resulted in the cases being resolved as follows.
1. Former Horn Factory, Dalmellington: Demolished and site cleared.
2. 1 New Street, Dalmellington: External repairs undertaken, building secured and building repainted.
3. Lock-up to rear of 11A Kilmarnock Road, Mauchline: Frontage boarded-up, repairs to walls and roof, external paintworks undertaken.
4. Afton Dyers, New Cumnock: Demolished and site cleared.
5. Lapwing Fishing Tackle Shop, 32 Aftonbridgend, New Cumnock: Incorporated into Bridgend Bar.
6. Creature Comforts, 28 Aftonbridgend, New Cumnock: Dilapidated dormer windows painted and broken windows on ground floor sealed and external paint works undertaken.
7. Barley Bree, Patna: Demolished and site cleared.
8. Torhill Cottage, Muirkirk: Purchased by adjoining land owner and incorporated into curtilage of their house
9. 50 Main Street, Patna: Dilapidated building painted and ground associated with it tidied up.
6. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
6.1 In relation to the development or restoration of derelict buildings within Council ownership, resources would required to be secured. Potential sources of grant funding exist for specific areas for example Kilmarnock Townscape Heritage Initiative, Kilmarnock Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme, Cumnock Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme and Newmilns Townscheme.
6.2 Under the Building Scotland Act 2003 when a building, or part of a building deteriorates and either becomes defective or becomes structurally unsafe and is considered as a dangerous building, statutory procedures in Sections 28, 29 and 30 of the 2003 Act can be implemented on the owner(s) to undertake the required works to rectify the defect or remove the danger and the risk to public safety. In terms of Sections 29 and 30 of the 2003 Act, this process can ultimately require a building to be demolished in the most severe cases. While the building owner(s) are responsible for preventing their buildings becoming defective or falling into a dangerous condition, these powers given under the Act do not diminish this responsibility but merely provide a ‘safety net’ that must be used to protect the public when it appears to the Council that, for whatever reason, a building owner has failed in the duty to fulfill this responsibility.
6.3 When the Council requires to undertake the public safety works specified under Sections 28, 29 or 30 on behalf of the owner(s), all reasonable costs incurred in process are recoverable from the owner(s) through the Council’s debt recovery process.
6.4 Under Section 179 of the Town & Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997, the Council may serve a notice on property that is adversely affecting the amenity of their area, (a “wasteland notice”), which if not complied with could result in the Council initiating direct action under Section 135 of the Act and then seeking to recover costs reasonably incurred.
7. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
7.1 While the building owners are responsible for preventing their buildings becoming defective or falling into a dangerous condition, the Council has statutory responsibilities and powers to address issues relating to defective, dangerous and derelict buildings; including Wasteland Notice, Listed Building Repair Notice, Defective Building Notice or Dangerous Building Notice.
7.2 As indicated, Wasteland Notices may be served if it appears to a planning authority that the amenity of any part of their district is adversely affected by the condition of any land in their district. “Land” may refer to a building and the steps that can be required of the owner are to be such as would abate the adverse affect arising from the property’s condition. Any such notice may be appealed to the Scottish Ministers.
7.3 With regard to Listed Buildings a Repair Notice may be served under sections 42- 45 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997. This may be a precursor to compulsory purchase of the property should the terms of the Notice not be complied with. It is open to any person with an interest in the building to challenge any compulsory purchase in the courts.
7.4 The Council may serve a Defective Building Notice under section 28 on a building considered defective or a Dangerous Buildings Notice under Sections 29 - 30 of the Building (Scotland) Act 2003 on a building which is considered dangerous. Where the terms of these Notices are not complied with the Council can undertake the works and recover from the owner any reasonable expenses in doing so. Where urgent action is needed to remove the danger the Council can implement emergency works under Section 29 of the Act. The Council can recoup all reasonable expenditure incurred although the prospects of actual recovery of such costs incurred would require to be assessed in each individual case.
8. COMMUNITY PLANNING IMPLICATIONS
8.1 The Delivering Community Regeneration' Action Plan within the Community Plan identifies the importance of tackling run down and derelict buildings as a key action. The attached Appendix 1 illustrates the extent to which effect has been given to this key action.
9. CONCLUSIONS
9.1 The Council has tackled an extensive number of derelict buildings with a view to improving their appearance and in some cases bringing these buildings back into use. In doing so, the Council has used a variety of powers under the Planning Acts and the Building Scotland Act. Proactive use of opportunities provided by the Townscape Heritage Initiative, Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme and Town Centre Regeneration Fund has led to some of our most important buildings being restored and the Council’s commitment to Regeneration of Kilmarnock and Cumnock Town Centres has enabled an extensive programme to be achieved or in the process of being achieved. Significant challenges will continue in the future as the full impact of the economic recession falls on the private sector and increasingly the public sector. This was recognised in the report to Cabinet on the Enquiry by Design report on 23 June 2010. In this context the timely review of the Community Plan is an opportunity to tackle these issues on a priority basis.
10. RECOMMENDATION
10.1 It is recommended that the Committee note the contents of the report.
