Breach of planning condition *

Sentence

£240 fine, £150 costs, £96 victim surcharge

Rodney Stanford, a 43-year-old garage worker at Anwick Car Sales near Sleaford, used jet washing equipment outside the designated workshop area on August 18, 2025, in breach of a planning condition imposed by North Kesteven District Council. The business had been granted planning permission in March 2022 with the condition that mechanical equipment be operated exclusively in the workshop car wash area. Despite initial compliance, multiple complaints were received in September and October 2024, leading to a breach of condition notice in October 2024. The incident was discovered after a tip-off from a resident, with concerns about water vapour entering neighbouring gardens and noise pollution due to the location backing onto a small road with residential houses. Stanford explained it was an isolated incident due to another vehicle occupying the workshop and the need to complete the job quickly, and noted the garage was attempting to build an internal valeting bay but the contractor went into administration.

Admitted to breach of condition notice. Blamed a problematic neighbour. Chair of the bench Helen Brown advised not to put himself in that position again.
