02 The proposed development, by reason of the narrow width of the vehicular access and the resultant conflicts between vehicular and pedestrian movements and associated traffic generation, would be detrimental to highway safety and the efficiency of the local highway network, contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy CP3 of the Southend Core Strategy and policy DM15 of the Southend Development Management Document.

03 The proposed development would result in an unacceptable loss of amenity space resulting in a poor environment for occupants thereof contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, policies KP2 and CP4 of the Core Strategy, policies DM1 and DM8 of the Development Management Document and advice contained within the Design and Townscape Guide.

The proposal is therefore unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, Southend-on-Sea Core Strategy (2007) Policies KP2 and CP3 and Southend-on-Sea Development Management Document Policies DM1, DM3 and DM15.
