28/06/2021 - NatWest Contract Extension ref: 1821    Recommendations Approved

NatWest current contract has expired. It is not envisaged that the revised prices will have a material impact on the contract, i.e. less than 10% of the initial contract value, therefore allowing a delegated officer decision to be made.

Decision Maker: Head of Resources

Decision published: 28/07/2021

Effective from: 28/06/2021

Decision:

Option 2: 2 year extension
Last year’s contract negotiation resulted in bank charges reducing by circa £8k per year. Previous market testing has show that we are getting value for money, but this timeframe would allow for further market testing to be done if considering a longer term contract in the future. Current pricing will be extended at the same levels until 31st March 2023.

Lead officer: Jon Triggs


27/07/2021 - ENF 11009 - Coach House, Lee House, Middle Marwood, Barnstaple EX31 4DZ ref: 1820    Recommendations Approved

This decision follows the installation of UPVC windows in a listed building without listed building consent being granted.
The installation of a UPVC windows and French doors to the Coach House extension contravenes Section 9(1) of the Act because they alter the building in a manner that affects its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest.
Retrospective listed building consent to retain the UPVC windows and French doors was refused under application 72491 on 26 January 2021. The works contravene Section 8 of the Act because listed building consent has not been granted.

Decision Maker: Head of Place

Decision published: 28/07/2021

Effective from: 27/07/2021

27/07/2021 - ENF 12309 Land on the south side of Shirwell Road, Shirwell, Barnstaple EX31 4JH ref: 1819    Recommendations Approved

This decision concerns an alleged unauthorisd development, namelt the creation of an access onto a classified road.
The works to remove the hedgerow creating the access onto the Class 1 road results in a single visibility spay which does not allow for safe access onto the road. This is because visibility is severely limited in one direction. A subsequent retrospective planning application 73107 to retain the access was refused on 14 May 2021.
The creation of the access allows water run-off to enter the road and to the neighbouring property, causing both highway safety concerns and an unacceptable adverse impact on the amenity of the neighbouring property.
The works are contrary to paragraphs 108 and 109 of the National Planning Policy Framework and policies DM01, DM05 and DM14 of the North Devon and Torridge Local Plan.
