White Lion Steps Collapse

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Great Yarmouth Borough Council should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Great Yarmouth Borough Council,

Within the GYBC planning and control portal under reference 06/06/0176?D a “Dangerous Structure Report” (Author and position unknown) was compiled on the 11th April 2012, and made the following comments:
“…Where the water came from was not apparent, but Darren Scales (Builder) stated that he had previous highlighted the inadequacy of the road drains to NCC…” (This needs verification along with any response)
“…The design of the retaining structure was questioned in respect of the lack of drainage within its specification…”
“…The construction methods and quality was also mentioned….”
No conclusion as to reinstatement
“… I informed JohnHutchinson (Building control- Canham Consulting) that the construction of the retaining wall to the top parking area was not in accordance with the submitted design held on the building control records….”
“…I informed (DS) that the construction of the retaining wall to the top parking area was not in accordance with the submitted design held on building control records…"

Why was the lack of drainage in the structure approved but mentioned at site?
What was the builder told by GYBC BC as to the building methods and quality of the retaining wall?
What enforcement action was taken by GYBC BC over the failure to build retaining wall as per approved design?

Yours faithfully,

Steve Taylor
