Notice under Section 170 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997: Land at 30-44 Morrison Court, Stevenston KA20 4JS Submitted report by the Chief Planning Officer seeking authority to serve a Notice under Section 170 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 requiring proposed maintenance of land for the abatement of the adverse impact on the local area. The report advised that the property was a four-storey block of flats with amenity space to all sides, understood to be owned in common with the other flats in Morrison Court. In February 2022, Planning received a complaint regarding the condition of the area. Household furniture items had been dumped in various places including the amenity space around this block.

Whilst some of the items had been cleared, it was noted that further complaints had been received this year by both Planning and Streetscene regarding the condition of the area. The amenity space around the property had been subject to dumping with items of reuse particularly prevalent on the land to the south of the building and in a former bin store to the east. Windows of the entrance area on the southern ground floor elevation had been smashed. Letters had been sent to the owners of all the flats. However, no action had been taken in respect of these areas. The Committee unanimously agreed to grant authority for the service of a Notice under Section 179 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 to abate the adverse impact on the land on the local area at the land at 30-44 Morrison Court, Stevenston KA20 4JS. The meeting ended at 2.10 p.m.
