17 DANGEROUS BUILDING: 5-7 EAST CLYDE STREET, HELENSBURGH PDF 406 KB
Report by Executive Director with responsibility for Development and Economic Growth
:
Minutes:
The Council considered a report which advised of the action taken by building standards at a private property on East Clyde Street, Helensburgh.
Decision
The Council:
1. Noted that officers had no option but to instruct
emergency works to the property to remove
the immediate danger to the public or adjacent buildings,
using our statutory
powers under the Building
(Scotland) Act 2003. These works were to stabilise
the building and provide
a short-term solution
with a potential that further interventions will be
necessary.
2.
Agreed that the best course of action at this stage was to stabilise the building, rather than demolish the property at considerable costs to the Council. Council further instructed officers to continue
to work with owners and other interested
parties to identify
a permanent solution.
This will be the subject
of a future report to the appropriate Committee.
