Dear Sir
RE: UNLAWFUL TELECOMMUNICATION INSTALLATION ..................
.........................................
I have become aware that the telecommunication installation at the above location has been installed contrary to planning controls, as such I respectfully request that your authority instigate enforcement procedures including the issuing of an enforcement notice and stop order.
Telecommunication code system operators are increasingly installing equipment without planning permission with the argument that it is an emergency. Parliament in its passing of the relevant sections of substantive and secondary legislation had clearly intended that this type of installation should be passed through strict controls over both the individual installation, as well as the wider roll-out of the system, the fact that the Electronic Code System Operator has ignored these processes has effectively denied the public the ability to make representation prior to the development taking place as well as discrediting the system to the detriment of the entire planning process.
The Government in the Planning Green Paper and subsequently in the have clearly set out that they are minded to implement compulsory enforcement action, which as you will be aware is the subject of a policy consultation. As such I urge you to take your responsibilities to upholding the credibility of the system, with the need to ensure that the publics rights to be consulted are upheld, whilst sending a clear message to those that flout the planning law that such abuses will not be tolerated within our Borough.
Whilst I also understand that the operator may submit a retrospective planning application, we would still urge you to issue enforcement action coupled to a stop order to ensure that the operation of this development is halted until such time as any retrospective planning application is considered, in order that those that flout the law are not able to benefit from such blatant disregards of the rights of local residents, and discrediting of the system.
I reserve the right to make such further representation as needed on any retrospective planning application, however I request that you notify me of your decision on the question of enforcement action being taken.
Yours sincerely
...............
Local resident
