Part 1 - Particulars of Application

Date of Application:	19 March 2025			

Proposal:	Single-storey front and rear extension following demolition of existing single-storey rear extension	
Location:	9 Knowl View, Littleborough, OL15 0BU, 	

Part 2 Compliance with Conditions

It is YOUR responsibility to comply with planning conditions. The Council’s Planning Enforcement Team is responsible for investigating alleged breaches of planning control.  This includes ensuring that all relevant conditions have been complied with. Effective enforcement is important to:

•	Tackle breaches of planning control which would otherwise have unacceptable impact on the amenity of the area
•	maintain the integrity of the decision-making process;
•	help ensure that public acceptance of the decision-making process is maintained.

Whilst the majority of developers/homeowners do comply with the requirements of planning permissions, there are a number who do not.  Where any planning conditions are breached, the Council can take formal enforcement action without further notice. Enforcement action could include such measures as requiring remedial works, cessation of use, or complete demolition and can cause the developer/homeowner unnecessary expense, delay and frustration. In some cases, failure to comply with planning conditions can lead to the loss of the planning permission.

IMPORTANT	
PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND FULLY UNDERSTOOD THE CONTENTS OF THIS DECISION NOTICE.  YOUR ATTENTION IS DRAWN TO THE ATTACHED NOTES.

INFORMATIVE:
The Local Planning Authority’s reasons for its decision are set out in the accompanying officer’s report. 

INFORMATIVE:                                                                                                                                                  
This decision does not imply consent to carry out any work which may encroach over a common boundary. Such work may include excavation, positioning of walls, fences or other construction such as roofs or gutters which overhang the boundary line. The applicant is therefore advised to obtain the consent of any landowner prior to the commencement of such work. The applicant’s attention is also drawn to the provisions of the Party Wall Act 1996, which sets out the rights and responsibilities of adjoining landowners in respect of the construction or alterations of any party walls, excavations and other construction works adjacent to the boundary line. Before proceeding with the development professional advice on the provision of the Act should be sought. "The Party Wall etc. Act 1996: explanatory booklet" is available free of charge from: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/party-wall-etc-act-1996-guidance.

INFORMATIVE:   
Bats can be mobile and cryptic in their habits, and can turn up in unexpected places. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 it is an offence to capture, injure or kill a bat, deliberately disturb a bat, or damage or destroy a bat roost. Planning consent does not provide a defence against prosecution under this act. If bats are encountered at any time during works, work must cease and advice sought from a suitably qualified person about how best to proceed.
