Dear Maxwell,

 

I have looked over the noise complaints on Uniform. We have one complainant but a Statutory Nuisance has never been established, so no formal action under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

NOISE

01/12/2019 Complaint made at 0:36 hours, noise officer visited in complainants property at 01:25 but did not deem a Statutory Nuisance under EPA 1990.

01/01/2020 Complaint made at 01:18, complainant did not answer their phone at 01:38

16.01.2020 complaint made at 22:48, officers went directly to the premises so unable to establish a statutory nuisance, they found the premises compliant with the Health Act 2006

18/01/2020 complaint made at 20:21, officer called back at 20:44 and noise had stopped

 

HEALTH ACT

1 December 2019, Breach of the Health Act was witnessed, totally enclosed with shutters down.

07/12/2019  premises was compliant with Health Act

28 December 2019 A visit was made on by Maria Johnson and I, where he was breaching the Health Act but thought he was not due to the “one metre rule” . He was given an explanation on how to make the premises compliant

 

 

16/01/2020, 17/01/2020 and 18/01/2020 – no breaches of Health Act during visits

 

I understand planning are also taking enforcement action on the structure.

 

In the meantime, if you have any questions or need further clarification, please cc my manager Linda Moodie into emails. I am a shift worker and go on nights later on in the week, so she may be able to get back to you quicker.

 

 

Thanks

 

Michelle

Hi Michelle

 

Thank you for the information. Did you say they were complaint with the Health Act? It will help if the details of the noise complaint including time, cause of noise and any other observation by officers are updated on uniform. There is a generic representation by Environment Health to the application for extended trading hours in hot food and hot drink. Without prejudice, such complaints, especially if verified by officers, would be useful for committee members as they make the final determination.

 

Kind regards

Hi Michelle

 

Thanks for the information. If you’d like a representation put in regarding the structure under the Health Act or the noise it would be best to speak with Maxwell Koduah as this can be done under Public Safety. Please let me know?

Dear Kevin,

 

Officers were called out this morning due to a noise complaint.

 

They said the premises was, however, compliant with the Health Act 2006.

 

Kind regards

Dear Kevin,

 

On 1st December 2019, officers witnessed in the rear extension structure breaches of the Health Act 2006. Witness statement provided to me.

On 7th December 2019, officers witnessed in the rear extension structure breaches of the Health Act 2006. Witness statement provided to me.

On 28th December 2019, officers witnessed in the rear extension structure, breaches of the Health Act 2006.

 

On 28th December, I visited with Maria Johnson, Mr Ismail Balin stated that he believed he could be compliant, due to the “one metre rule” however at the time he had covered some of the openings that meant he was not.

 

Mr Balin was written to on 30th December 2019 with a warning letter regarding the above visits and the breaches of the Health Act 2006.

He was informed that his licence would run out, and if he wanted to continue licensable activities, a new application would need to be made.

 

He stated in an email to me 2 January 2019 that he had removed the coverings to make the premises compliant with the Health Act 2006.

 

On Saturday 7 January 2019, officers visited the premises. Mr Balin was not on site. The staff refused to provide any of their details to the officers and were reluctant to speak to the council. After some time, they offered the officers a telephone number for Mr Balin, who offered to come to the premises.

 

Please let me know if you need anything further

 

Yours sincerely
