PROSECUTION FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH A NOTICE REQUIRING THE TIDYING UP OF A GARDEN At Chelmsford Magistrates Court on 5 April 2018 prosecutions were brought by Epping Forest District Council against Mr Salinder Minhas and Mrs Parminder Minhas, the owners of 3 Alderton Close Loughton Essex for failing to comply with Notices served on them under Section 215 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990 requiring them to remove building materials, paint pots, plastic items and cardboard from their front and rear gardens and from the flat roof of the garage which were adversely affecting the visual amenity of the area.
Mr. & Mrs Minhas each pleaded guilty to the offence of failing to comply with the Notice served on them on 23 November 2017. They should have complied by 21 December 2017.
The Magistrates fined Mr Minhas £110 and ordered him to pay £308 towards the Council’s prosecution costs together with the statutory victim surcharge of £30. Mrs Minhas was fined £100 and ordered to pay costs of £308 and a Victim Surcharge of £30 (the fines had been reduced by one third due to Mr & Mrs Minhas pleading guilty at the first hearing and also taking into account their current financial situation. The maximum fine possible was £1,000 each)
The Magistrate told Mr & Mrs Minhas that having seen the photographs taken by the Council he was not surprised that neighbours had complained about the state of the property and the Council had quite rightly brought the prosecution having given them every opportunity to clear the land. Mr & Mrs Minhas informed the court that they would now fully comply with the Notice. Failure to do so renders them liable to a further prosecution with a possible fine of up to £100 for every day that they do not comply from 5 April 2018)

TREE PROSECUTION 12 Tomswood Road Chigwell - Vinod Kumar Pandhi
On 5 April 2018 in Chelmsford Magistrates Court Mr. Vinod Kumar Pandhi of 12 Tomswood Road Chigwell Essex pleaded guilty to causing or permitting the cutting down of a hornbeam tree at his property without the authorisation of Epping Forest District and which was protected by a Tree Preservation Order
FACTS On 11 September 2017 the Council’s Tree and Landscape officer was notified that a Hornbeam tree had been cut down in the garden of 12 Tomswood Road Chigwell. The tree was protected by a Tree Preservation Order made in 2009 and no consent had been given for the work carried out.
MrPandi was interviewed under caution and stated that he was unaware that the tree were protected and he believed it to be causing damage to his house although no usual investigations had been carried out to verify this.. He had approached persons carrying out tree work in a neighbour’s garden to cut down the tree but he failed to provide details to the Council to enable it to carry out further investigation with a view to also prosecuting those directly responsible for carrying out the work.
Having pleaded guilty Mr Pandhi was fined £1,000 and ordered to pay the Council’s prosecution costs of £813.73 and a victim surcharge of £100. (The fine had been reduced by one third as a result of Mr Pandhi having pleaded guilty at the first hearing and took account of his current finances).
