Agenda item

The Senior Monitoring Officer introduced the report and updated Members on the current enforcement cases as well as breaches that had been investigated and actioned over the last quarter.  He reported that 120 breaches had been reported  over the last quarter of which 34 had been resolved.  In addition 3 Enforcement Notices had been issued in that time.  There had also  been 1 appeal against an Enforcement Notice for a track put in at Cartledge Flat, which had been dismissed by the Inspectorate and the track has now been removed with  the site being restored.

The Officer showed a number  of  “before and after” photographs of resolved cases to Members.

Concern  was raised on the increase of helicopter flights taking place within the Park and the noise impact this was having. Cllr McCloy reported that he would raise the issue with the other English National Parks and see what experience exists in other National Parks and  whether this issue might be taken up with the Government.

Members welcomed the report. 

The report was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

RESOLVED:

That the report be received.
