| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
You should note that the Council’s Neighbourhood Enforcement have a legal duty to
investigate any complaints about noise or dust which may arise during the demolition
phase. If a statutory nuisance is found to exist, they must serve an Abatement Notice
under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Failure to comply with the requirements
of an Abatement Notice may result in a fine of up to £20,000 upon conviction in the
Magistrates' Court. It is therefore recommended that you give serious consideration to
reducing general disturbance by minimising dust and preventing mud, dust and other
materials being deposited on the highway.
02
Nature conservation protection under UK and EU legislation is irrespective of the
planning system and the applicant should therefore ensure that any activity
undertaken, regardless of the need for any planning consent, complies with the
appropriate wildlife legislation. If any protected species are found on the site then work
should halt immediately and an appropriately qualified ecologist should be consulted.
