Request

The Local Authority Search records for 34 Salisbury Road, Dover, CT16 1EU show the following Housing Act 2004 Improvement Notices against the property:

PF488821
PF488822
PF488823

Please could you provide me with copies of the full notices, including all schedules/specifications of remedial works, hazard schedules, and any subsequent correspondence or updates confirming whether any of the required works have already been completed.

I would also be grateful if you could confirm:

  1. whether all three notices remain outstanding;
  2. whether the council has inspected the property since the notices were served;
  3. whether any required works have been completed or signed off;
  4. whether there are any further Housing Act notices, prohibition orders or enforcement action concerning the property;
  5. what would be required for the notices to be formally discharged following completion of the works.

Response

The Notices are set out in the attachments below and have been served relating to the above property and the demand for payments, which is the third charge listed.  The Council has not received any correspondence since the Notices were issued from the current owners.  

  1. The Notices and the charges are still outstanding.
  2. We have not inspected the property since the Notices were served.
  3. We have not signed off any completed works.
  4. There are no further Notices relating to the property that we are aware of.
  5. For the Notices to be formally discharged the Demand for Payments would need to be paid and all works as listed in schedule 2 of the Notices, we would then need to reinspect to sign off the works.
