ENF 10865: Alleged Unauthorised Works to a Listed Building - Creation of a Balcony at 2 Rose Cottages, Village Street, Bishops Tawton, Barnstaple, EX32 0BZ

Decision Maker: Head of Place

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

N/A

Decision:

To issue a Listed Building Enforcement Notice under Section 38 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to require the removal of a balustrade and staircase.

Reasons for the decision:

A Certificate of lawful use was refused on 11th January 2019 under application 65494. The building is a Grade II listed building and Listed Building Consent is required to carry out works. The creation of the balcony including the installation of the balustrade and spiral staircase is considered unacceptable as it adversely affects the amenity of the occupants of neighbouring properties.

Alternative options considered:

The owner of the land has previously failed to remove the means for the balcony which includes the ballustrade and staircase. The listed building enforcement notice is required to remedy the alleged breach of planning control.
