A Nottinghamshire man has been told to tear down buildings, lighting and security cameras that were set up without proper planning permission. Gedling Borough Council served two enforcement notices over 'unauthorised use of land' in Mansfield Road, Papplewick.
The notices related to using the land to store and repair vehicles, while the second was for structures and buildings being created without planning permission. Both notices were appealed by the man, with one of these, the use of the land for vehicles, being successfully argued against.
However, after losing his appeal over the construction of buildings, these must be torn down, a move welcomed by neighbours. One nearby resident, who did not wish to be named, said: "It was being used as a scrap yard so the residents complained about it. Then Gedling Borough Council went to have a look at what was happening and the development was not in keeping with the planning permission that had been put on the land, so they gave an enforcement notice.
