    • 0808201 – Melabraut 17, container in the car park

      A skip has been standing in the car park of the house opposite Suðurbraut for a whole year. The property owners, Bílamálun Minney, were contacted about removing the skip and they promised it would be dealt with without delay. The skip is still there, but this is not permitted under the local planning regulations. The container is there at the responsibility of the property owner/landowner, who has been repeatedly asked to remove it, and was required to do so at the service meeting on 27.08.2008. On 18 March 2009, the planning and building officer made it compulsory for the owner/landowner of Melabraut 17 to remove the said container within two weeks. Failure to comply within the specified timeframe would result in a recommendation to the Planning and Building Committee to impose a daily fine in accordance with section 57 of the Planning and Building Act. This has not been addressed. On 28/04/2009, the Planning and Building Committee required the property owner to remove the aforementioned container within two weeks. Failure to comply would lead the Planning and Building Committee to recommend to the Town Council that daily fines be imposed in accordance with Article 57 of the Planning and Building Act No. 73/1997. Another container has been added on the grassy side of Suðurbraut.

      The Planning and Building Committee makes the following recommendation to the Town Council:“The Hafnarfjörður Town Council agrees that daily fines will be imposed in accordance with section 57 of the Planning and Building Act no. 73/1997, 30,000 krónur per day from 1 July, if the containers on the plot of the house opposite Suðurbraut are not removed by that date.“;

On 22 April 2009, the Planning and Building Officer requested information about the proposed works within two weeks. No response has been received. As the finishing of the adjacent plot is dependent on this plot being completed, and complaints have been received from the holder of that plot, the Planning and Building Officer considers it urgent that this be done as soon as possible. On 13.05.2009, the Planning and Building Officer referred the matter to the Planning and Building Committee with a proposal to make a recommendation to the Town Council that the plot be reallocated if a satisfactory response is not received from the plot holder within two weeks.

      The Planning and Building Committee recommends to the Town Council that the plot be reallocated if a satisfactory response is not received from the plot holder within two weeks regarding the proposed building works.
