The development to which this permission relates shall be carried out in complete accordance with the approved plans and specifications.
This is condition 2 of the grant of permission. There had been much talk of condition 1 (that work had to start within 5 years) and the other 3 conditions but none about condition 2. It was very clear to the local residents that it was not built to plan from the start.
Work on this site has recommenced in the last day or so and I am surprised as there is still an outstanding issue which I think has not been addressed.
The structural framework of slipway shelter on river drive had not been built to any plan seen and work on it has continued in spite of objections by local residents.
This raised objections to noise, access and location but only a passing comment about the height. The was no complaint about it not being built to plan because:
There was initially no way of confirming that it was oversize.
The drawings provided by UK docks indicated the the shelter was some 3 meters taller and 1m wider than planned but there were a number of obstacles to getting hold of facts at this time.
the drawings provided by the Council/UK Docks did not appear to have approval;
correspondence with the Planning Office indicated that the shelter was approved;
we did not know the size of the framework;
questions about the dimensions of the shelter went unanswered (enquirers were being referred to the complaints system)
