With
regard to the third point of your enquiry the law states that within a
conservation area any development should either
preserve or enhance the
character or appearance of the conservation area. The legislation
relating to
Conservation areas does not place any other
“requirement” on properties in a
conservation area. As
There
is qualified requirement under the Town and Country Planning General
Development
Order 1988 for consent to be obtained for any minor alterations to be
made to a
property. No such consents have been given.
Regarding
the fourth point of your enquiry as to whether the Council has any
future plans
to manage the dilapidation and disrepair of
the
Council’s Building Control Team have received one complaint
regarding self-
neglect which covers disrepair and pest control issues which they
intend to act
upon.
The
Course of action they intend to follow in dealing with the complaint is
 |
To carry out an external inspection
of the premises |
|
To consult with the service
utilities regarding damage to the property |
|
To consult with Hackney Legal Services |
|
When consultation is completed a
joint inspection of the property will take place by Private Sector
Housing and Building Control. |
|
Following the joint inspection
Private Sector Housing will assess what action if any should be taken
to deal with issues of disrepair and public health. Building Control
will in turn decide what action if any to take after assessing the
structural stability of the property. |
Finally
in relation to the fifth point of your enquiry about dealing with
complaints
apart from the one mentioned above we do not have any record of other
formal
complaints made about this property.
I
hope this satisfactorily deals with your enquiry
Yours
sincerely
