SQUATTERS AND those with illegal extensions to structures are not off the radar of the Town Planning Department, as the Chief Town Planner revealed the biggest challenge came from offenders in Zone 1.
Mark Cummins said the majority of lawbreakers who were ordered to tear down the offending structures usually complied.
“Nine out of ten times after we send out a warning letter, the person will seek to conform. The biggest challenge we have rests with persons who occupy Zone 1 areas where that then becomes a threat to the water supply,” he told the DAILY NATION.
The department has not carried out any enforcement notices so far this year but, said Cummins, there were plans to do so. However, he did not disclose how many, or the locations. (AC)
