The Chair brought forward Item 15 as the speakers had not arrived for the next Item.

The Monitoring and Enforcement Team Manager, 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 the targets set were on track and in some cases would be exceeded.

The Head of Development Management explained that additional resources had been allocated to the Monitoring & Enforcement Team over the last year; a two-year fixed term, full time post at senior level which had helped to resolve some of the bigger enforcement cases, and a permanent part time senior post, which had helped to resolve some of the back log of breaches relating to listed building enforcement issues.

The Monitoring and Enforcement Team Manager then showed a number of photographs, including case ref: 16/0022 (Land North of Main Road, Taddington) where an enforcement notice had been issued, several ‘ before and after’ photographs of completed cases and some cases where a decision had been taken not to pursue enforcement action..

Members welcomed the report and congratulated the Monitoring and Enforcement Team on the performance figures

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