DECISION OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TRIBUNAL
1. The Tribunal has already issued a preliminary decision in this matter. The appeal was
dismissed. These are the reasons for this decision.
2. A remote hearing took place on 21st February 2022. The Appellant failed to attend and he
was obstructive in preventing the Tribunal from inspecting the premises. His conduct was
somewhat bizarre given that it was his appeal.
3. The Appellant issued his appeal on 9th September 2021. He was appealing against an
Improvement Notice served upon him by the Respondent on 24th August 2021 in relation to
premises at 1 Clydach Street, Brynmawr, Ebbw Vale, NP23 4RL (“The premises”). The notice was
served because the Respondent had found various hazards at the premises including penetrating
dampness, excess cold, risk of fire, risk of fall on the stairs and risk of fall on level surfaces. The
Improvement Notice particularized the works necessary to abate the hazards. These w ere clear and
concise particulars which could easily be understood. The Appellant was given 28 days to carry out
the works which was entirely reasonable.
4. In his appeal the Appellant said that the Respondent should have served a Hazard
Awareness Notice, he also appealed the decision to recharge him £226 for serving the
notice. The Appellant failed to comply with any directions issued by the Tribunal and
obstructed his appeal.
