RESOLVED: That Cabinet

1.    APPROVED the Policy set out in Annex A

Minutes:

The purpose of the report was to consider and approve a new policy in respect of the enforcement of Storage of Non-Motor Vehicles and Structures on the Public Highway.

 

The Cabinet Member for Planning and Regulatory Services, Councillor Juliet Layton, introduced the recommendation to Cabinet and outlined the following points:

 

  • This policy was for non-motorised vehicles like caravans.
  • Any structures like this left abandoned on the side of the road were a nuisance and could attract vandalism.
  • The policy would issue removal notices if the vehicles weren’t removed within 28 days. After 10 days, if there was no proof of ownership brought forward, then the Council may destroy these vehicles.

 

The Cabinet Member noted that these were for reported abandoned non-motorised vehicles only and not those in use. 

 

The recommendations were proposed by Councillor Juliet Layton and seconded by Councillor Joe Harris.
