Eyesore in conservation area must go

February 18, 2010 3:28 PM

David Ward has expressed anger about an extension which has been built at 12 High Street, Idle without planning permission.

He first reported the problem to the council in November and the council then visited the property and ordered the owner to put it right by the middle of December.

Now the council is preparing to serve an enforcement notice ordering the owner to demolish the extension.

David Ward said,

"This is in the Idle conservation area so it is particularly sensitive. It is not on for people to get planning permission for something and then build something entirely different which is what happened here.

A lot of council time and money has been spent on getting to the point of enforcement and it will cost the owner a lot of money to demolish it. It's a complete eyesore, like a portacabin on top of the stone building, and the sooner it's gone the better."

    If you are a resident of the Bradford East constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
