Report of Corporate Director for Place No. DETE 16/055

The Committee received a report of the Corporate Director for Place which reported on alleged breaches of planning control.

EN/15/00272/UNAU

Without planning permission installed a new shopfront and changed the use of a former dance studio to form a retail unit.

22 High Street Shoeburyness

Resolved:-

That NO FURTHER ACTION be taken in respect of this matter.

(b)  Milton Ward

15/00258/UCOU_B

Without planning permission change of use of building to House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) installation of windows, erection of porch and provision of soil pipe to South elevation.

49 Milton Road, Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex.

Resolved:-

That, there being no breach of planning control at present, NO FURTHER ACTION be taken in relation to the current use of the building and that enforcement action in relation to all other works be deferred to enable sufficient time for a planning application to address these matters to be submitted and considered.

(c)  Shoeburyness Ward

EN/16/00093/UNAU_B

Erected dwellinghouse and fence other than in accordance with Planning Permission

120 Eagle Way, Shoeburyness, Essex

Resolved:-

That ENFORCEMENT ACTION be AUTHORISED for the removal of the unauthorised fence at the west of the site. This is because of its poor appearance and siting not in accordance with the local character to the detriment of visual and residential amenity, contrary to Policy DM1 of the DM DPD, Policies KP2 and CP4 of the Core Strategy, and advice contained within the Design and Townscape Guide (SPD1).

The authorised enforcement action to include (if/as necessary) the service of an Enforcement Notice under Section 172 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the pursuance of proceedings whether by prosecution or injunction to secure compliance with the requirements of said Notice.

When serving an Enforcement Notice the local planning authority must ensure a reasonable time for compliance. It is considered that a one month compliance period is reasonable in these circumstances.
