AND/OR

b)Make arrangements for direct action to carry out the works specified in steps 1 to 3 of paragraph 6.1 above  to tidy the land ; and

c) To  take all necessary steps to secure the recovery of all costs incurred by the placing of a charge on the property.

Reason for Recommendation – to enable the problem to be resolved as effectively as possible because the poor condition of the site and appearance of the land is detrimental to the surrounding area and neighbourhood.  The despoiled land is affecting the amenity of the area and the builders rubble  and other materials are visually intrusive.
