Notice has been served by planning enforcement officers on the owners and tenants of a premises on Alcester Road near to Edgbaston Road East. The premises, an old factory unit is leased as a community centre, however it is being used almost exclusively for evening pre weddings and parties.
Izzy has received numerous complaints about anti social and obstructive parking, loud music, loud prolonged drumming and fireworks being illegally and dangerously let off in the street. It is not clear if any health and safety or fire safety checks have ever taken place.
Izzy has previously spoken to the organisation leasing the premises and brought the complaints to their attention, however nothing has been done to stop the issues continuing sometimes two or three times a week.
The owner and tenants have until 4th September to appeal the notice. In the event of no appeal being made they will need to cease all activity at the premises after 4th October..
They now have a chance to appeal the decision by planning enforcement and apply to regularise the use of the building as a community centre.
