On Wednesday, the Planning sub-committee refused to grant retrospective consent A Planning department spokesman said that the applicant, John Appleby, is going to be told to take the garage down.’He will be given the opportunity to take it down of his own volition and given a month or two to do so.
However, if he does not, then an enforcement order has been granted and we will take action to affect its demolition,’ said the spokesman.
Mr Appleby could not be contacted for comment on the decision.Meanwhile, an application from Woodside Farms to create a small natural reservoir has been deferred for a site visit by the committee.
Charles Gallichan of Woodside Farms in Trinity said that there is a block of land that slopes quite substantially and the application is designed to make the field more flat while creating a water storage area at the same time.
