·         That the Enforcement Notice served at 67 Earle Road, Bramhall had now been complied with.

In addition, Members requested an update in relation to compliance with the enforcement regulations at the Garden House, Marple. In response, it was confirmed that the matter was being investigated and a response would be provided to Members in due course.
