01. The proposed dwellinghouse by reason of its design, height, scale and bulk would appear visually dominant and incongruous, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the streetscene.

The detailed analysis is set out in the report prepared by officers. In the circumstances the proposal is not considered to be sustainable development. The Local Planning Authority is willing to meet with the Applicant to discuss the best course of action and is also willing to provide pre-application advice in respect of any future application for a revised development.

01 Details of the means of access, design, external appearance, scale, landscaping and layout (hereinafter called "the reserved matters") shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority before any development begins and the development shall be carried out as approved.

Reason: Required to be imposed pursuant to Section 92 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) and because the application is for outline planning permission only and the particulars submitted are insufficient for consideration of the details mentioned.

02 The development hereby permitted shall be begun not later than whichever is the later of the following dates:

(i) The expiration of 3; years beginning with the date of this permission;
(ii) The expiration of 2; years beginning with the approval of the last reserved matter to be approved.

Reason: Required to be imposed pursuant to Section 92 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990

03 A scheme detailing how at least 10% of the total energy needs of the development will be supplied using on site renewable sources must be submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority concurrently with the reserved matters and implemented in full prior to the occupation of any of the dwellinghouses. This provision shall be made for the lifetime of the development.

Reason: To minimise the environmental impact of the development through efficient use of resources and better use of sustainable and renewable resources in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework, East of England Plan 2008 policy SS1, ENV7, ENG1, WAT1 and WAT4, DPD1 (Core Strategy) policy KP2 and CP4, and SPD1 (Design and Townscape Guide).

Reason for Approval
This permission has been granted having regard to National Planning Policy Framework, Policy ENV7 (Quality in the Built Environment), Policy KP2 (Development Principle), CP3 (Transport & Accessibility) CP4 (Environment & Urban Renaissance) of the Core Strategy DPD; Borough Local Plan Policies C11 (New Buildings, Extensions and Alterations), H5 (Residential Design and Layout Considerations), T8 (Traffic Management and Highway safety), T11 (Parking); the Design and Townscape Guide (SPD1); EPOA Adopted Vehicle Parking Standards and all other material considerations.

Details of this outline proposal have been reserved for submission and consideration at a later date within 3 years of the date of this permission.

INFORMATIVE
01 You are advised that the design of the proposed third floor would not be acceptable. Mansard roofs are generally unacceptable in the Borough as they are unattractive and out of character in Southend. This area is characterised largely by hips or gables and therefore the mansard style roof is considered to be out of character and contrary to the Design and Townscape Guide (2009). The proportions of the property are more horizontal than vertical and therefore any application to extend it must be sympathetic to this prevailing characteristic.
