Following this request, BCS has been to look at this property. It is not considered dangerous - it might be empty and overgrown, but it is in fair condition there are no obvious signs of anything falling off, broken, or requires boarding up.
It is set back from the road within the curtilage of its own boundary, and does not appear to be a threat to the public. BCS will not be taking any further action, nor serving any notices.
