Enforcement Notice issued

We have today (25 April) issued an Enforcement Notice ordering the landowner to remove an unauthorised structure between two housing estates in Kellands Lane, Okehampton.  

The structure was erected suddenly on 15 April causing issues for residents because it was a route used by them to get their children to St James Primary School.
