Enforcement issued against Malinslee resident
An enforcement notice has been issued to the occupier of a terraced house in Malinslee, Telford, following a complaint about alleged untidy land and unauthorised storage of vehicles.
The Enforcement Notice was served on the 1st of July, for it to take effect on 1st of August 2025.
Looking back at Google Street View, the problem seems to have escalated since 2009, with a bus appearing by 2022. As of today, the bus has changed position but still look like a scrap vehicle.
According to Telford & Wrekin Council Planning Enforcement Policy from 2015, this kind of enforcement falls into Category C, the lowest priority of council enforcement team, but still can carry serious consequences if the notice is not complied with, or ignored. Failure to comply is a criminal offence, and can lead to prosecution in the Magistrates’ Court and a maximum fine of £1,000.
The occupier can lodge an appeal with the Magistrates Court if they consider the notice incorrect.
Would you have complained if you had a property like this in your street?
