Officer Decision: Decision requested by decision maker: Agreement to issue Enforcement Notice for structure on south and east elevations at Woodpecker Bar and Kitchen, West Down, Ilfracombe, EX34 8NU

1. BACKGROUND / REASONS FOR THE DECISION REQUEST
1.1. The breach of planning control alleged that is within the last 4 years construction of structure on south and east elevations.

1.2. An Enforcement Notice should be issued to remedy the alleged breach of planning control. The Council considers it expedient to issue this notice for the following reasons:

1.3. The operational development, being the structure constructed on the south and east elevation of the building, appears at odds with the character and appearance of the building, projecting beyond its principle elevation and in a corrugated sheet metal finish which is not in keeping with the existing material prevalent on the building or within the local setting as such it would be contrary to Polices ST04, and DM04 of the North Devon and Torridge Local Plan and paragraph 130 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

3.1. There are no other actions the Council can take to remedy this breach of planning control. The owner has not willingly complied with requests to remedy the breach and no application has been submitted to regularise the structure.
