News from the Secretary - Unauthorised Works at 57
North Cray Road
After a considerable amount of time -
especially in recent months when the unauthorised use of their land by
Stuarts of 57 North Cray Road for the deposit, crushing and processing
of waste (concrete) etc. was causing serious distress to local people in
the form of Noise and Dust - the council and the Environment Agency
worked together to put an end to this.
Click on the plan for
an
enlarged view.
A major contribution to getting these Works
stopped was made by the members of our recently formed Sub-Committee. It
was their determined and tireless efforts to get something done without
any further delay that led to the issuing of a Planning Enforcement
Notice that will take effect on 6 August 2018.
The
Enforcement Notice was issued by the Council because it appears to them
that there has been a breach of planning control, within Paragraph (a)
of Section 171A(1) of the Town And Country Planning Act 1990.
The
notice relates to two areas of the land at 57 North Cray Road as shown
on the plan (above, left). The area hatched blue can be used lawfully
for the mixed use of soil screening and manure and soil storage, but may
not be used lawfully for the deposit, crushing and processing of
concrete. The area hatched green may not be used lawfully for the for
the deposit and processing of waste (soil) or for the deposit, crushing
and processing of concrete.
The owners,
partners and operators of these unlawful activities have been instructed
to cease the unlawful operations within 2 months. If they wish to
appeal against the Enforcement Notice, they must do so before 6th August
2018.
