Wrexham Council Prosecutes Two for Planning Rule Infringements
That notice asked for information about investigating alleged planning breaches. The council said the owner didn’t respond and he had to pay a £40 fine. Costs of £280 and a £16 surcharge were added.
The second case was about a Gresford property owner. He did not comply with an Enforcement Notice. He had to remove a garden extension that went past his property line into the countryside. He also had to remove the fence.
He received a £400 fine too. His costs were £280, with a £160 surcharge. Councillor Hugh Jones spoke about the cases, saying breaching planning rules brings a response and frustrating investigations also will.
David Fitzsimon also commented on the cases. He stated that officers take enforcement action for breaches. They prosecute when necessary to do so, and will also prosecute if people fail to give information needed to investigate breaches.
