Nuneaton Council Probes Unauthorised Demolition of Former Etone Motors Site

The planning enforcement team is assessing the unpermitted teardown with potential court action under UK planning law.

Overview

  • Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council says no permission was sought or granted for the demolition at 45 Attleborough Road.
  • The former Etone Motors building, later a tackle shop, has been bulldozed with only a fenced-off skeleton structure remaining.
  • The council’s planning enforcement team at the Town Hall has opened a case and is gathering facts.
  • Guidance under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 requires consent for demolition with possible court action and unlimited fines for breaches.
  • Local planning records show no live applications for the plot, with the most recent entry in 2022 for signage, and residents are asking what will happen to the site.
