JUDICIAL REVIEW UPDATE

A verbal update to be given by David Ball

Minutes:

A verbal update was given by The Assistant Director for Environmental Services.

 

The Assistant Director confirmed that Hillbark Hotel had been served an enforcement notice to take down and remove the marquee. Hillbark Hotel has till 1 February 2019 to comply with the enforcement notice served.

 

Member raised concerns about the length of time given to Hillbark Hotel to remove the marquee and what were the implications if they did not comply?

 

The Assistant Director explained to the Committee that due to the recent refusal of the latest planning application that there was no planning permission for the marquee already erected, the case was looked at in what was regarded as reasonable legal timescale in which to carry out the works to remove the marquee. The officers will be pressing them to start the removal as soon as possible. If Hillbark Hotel hasn’t complied with the enforcement notice by 1 February 2019 further legal action is an option that could be taken.

The legal process has been started by the serving of the enforcement notice.

 

The Assistant Director noted the concerns raised by the Committee of the length of time given for compliance.

 

Legal advice was to be sought about the legality of revoking their licence to operate in the marquee and this advice would be brought back to a future Committee meeting.
