Councillors met with Enforcement Officer from Leeds City Councils Planning and Environmental Action teams to explore the options for a combined plan to improve Morley Bottoms. Following a walkabout to look at some of the untidy sites and building in disrepair, officers agreed to a plan to explore using their powers to get the area cleared up.
Planning Enforcement have powers to issue Section 215 notices under the Town and Planning Act 1990. This compels the owners of untidy properties to take action to tidy them up or face court action. Environmental Action Officers also have similar powers to have overgrown and untidy greenspaces cleared up.
The Enforcement Action team agreed to use their legal powers to issue notices to the owners of untidy building and greenspaces.
We are aiming to make more progress with the regeneration of Morley Bottoms and the action the Enforcement Team are to take will help to start the longer term project of clearing up the area.
