Planners release pictures of homes facing enforcement action

Residents who converted their homes without planning permission have been served enforcement notices by Newark and Sherwood District Council. One property was being used as a holiday home on Air BnB – and was the subject of complaints about noise and anti-social behaviour, from neighbours.

A retrospective application for planning permission was submitted but refused, and an enforcement notice requiring its removal was issued. The enforcement notice has been appealed to the Planning Inspectorate.A large timber outbuilding had been built. Outbuildings to the front of a house require planning permission. A retrospective application for planning permission was submitted but refused and an enforcement notice requiring its removal was issued.

Complaints were extensive and the alleged behaviour of the occupants unacceptable. Officers corresponded with the owner of the property who removed the property from online rental listings and is now in the process of selling the property.The enforcement case involves the building of a pergola and area of raised decking, which overlooked a number of neighbouring gardens due to the difference in land levels.

The owners were informed that whilst they may have complied with the enforcement notice, the ‘new’ decking required planning permission and must also be removed. This has now been undertaken.Without planning permission a flat-roof second storey was being built atop an existing single storey extension, leading to a serious loss of neighbouring privacy, and an uncharacteristic design.
