Proposal:  Demolish existing buildings, including 6 Crosby Road, erect four storey building comprising 20 self-contained flats, layout parking, hard and soft landscaping and extend existing vehicular access on to Crosby Road (Amended Proposal)

Applicant:  BESB Contracts Ltd 

Agent:  Phase 2 Planning

 

Resolved:  That planning permission be REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

01  The proposal would, by reason of its size, scale, bulk, mass, siting and  detailed design, constitute a cramped,  contrived and incongruous development that would be harmful to the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area. This is unacceptable and contrary to National Planning Policy Framework (2018), Policies KP2 and CP4 of the Core Strategy (2007), Policies DM1 and DM3 of the Development Management Document (2015) and the advice contained within the Design and Townscape Guide (2009). 

 

02  The development proposed fails to provide an appropriate dwelling mix that would reflect the Borough’s identified housing needs, resulting in the scheme failing to deliver a sufficiently wide choice of homes. This is unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2018), Policy KP2 of the Core Strategy (2007) and Policy DM7 of the Development Management Document (2015).

 

03  A number of the proposed flats would provide unacceptable levels of amenities for their future occupiers by virtue of the poor levels of light and outlook provided to habitable rooms. The proposal is therefore unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2018), Policies KP2 and CP4 of the Core Strategy (2007), Policies DM1, DM3 and DM8 of the Development Management Document (2015) and the advice contained within the Design and Townscape Guide (2009).

 

04  The application does not include a formal undertaking to secure a contribution to affordable housing provision to meet the demand for such housing in the area. The submission also lacks a formal undertaking to secure a contribution to the delivery of education facilities to meet the need for such infrastructure generated by the development. In the absence of these undertakings the application is unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2018), Policies KP2, KP3, CP6 and CP8 of the Core Strategy (2007) and policy DM7 of the Development Management Policies Document (2015).

 

The Local Planning Authority has acted positively and proactively in determining this application by identifying matters of concern with the proposal and determining the application within a timely manner, clearly setting out the reason(s) for refusal, allowing the Applicant the opportunity to consider the harm caused and whether or not it can be remedied by a revision to the proposal.  The detailed analysis is set out in a report prepared by officers. In the circumstances the proposal is not considered to be sustainable development. The Local Planning Authority is willing to discuss the best course of action

Minutes:

Proposal:  Demolish existing storage building (Class B1(c)), erect nine dwellings, form additional parking and alter vehicular access on to Burdett Road (outline) (amended proposal) 

Applicant:  Gilson

Agent:  T C Matthew Chartered Architect

 

Resolved: That OUTLINE planning permission be REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

01  The development, by virtue of the absence of a safe refuge above predicted flood levels for the ground floor self-contained flats proposed would fail to provide a safe development which complies with Part B of the Exceptions Test as outlined in the National Planning Policy Framework (2018). This is unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2018), Policies KP1 and KP2 of the Core Strategy (2007), Policy DM6 of the Development Management Document (2015) and Policy DS4 of the Southend Central Area Action Plan (2018).

 

02  The proposal, by reason of its excessive size, scale, bulk and mass, its poor layout and lack of opportunities for soft landscaping within and in front of the development would result in an incongruous, cramped and overly prominent development within the streetscene to the detriment of the character and appearance of the site and wider area. The proposal is considered to represent an overdevelopment of the site. It is therefore unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2018), Policies KP2 and CP4 of the Core Strategy (2007), Policies DM1 and DM3 of the Development Management Document (2015) and the advice contained within the adopted Design and Townscape Guide (2009).

 

The Local Planning Authority has acted positively and proactively in determining this application by identifying matters of concern with the proposal and determining the application within a timely manner, clearly setting out the reason(s) for refusal, allowing the Applicant the opportunity to consider the harm caused and whether or not it can be remedied by a revision to the proposal.  The detailed analysis is set out in a report prepared by officers.

Proposal:  Change of use from storage and distribution (Class B8) to a gymnasium (Class D2) and Cheerleading and Gymnastics Training Centre (Class D2)

Applicant:  Miss R Blatch

Agent:  Mr N Kenney

 

Resolved:  (a)  That planning permission be REFUSED for the following reason:

 

01  The applicant has failed to demonstrate that there is no long term or reasonable prospect of the site being used for B class uses, and that the proposed use cannot reasonably be located elsewhere within the area that it serves.  On this basis it is concluded that the continued use of the premises as proposed would undermine the employment growth area and the long term availability of employment-generating development in the Borough. There are found to be no material planning considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh the harm caused by this conflict with development plan policy. This is unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2018), Policies KP1, KP2 and CP1 of the Core Strategy (2007) and Policies DM3 and DM11 of the Development Management Document (2015).

 

The Local Planning Authority has acted positively and proactively in determining this application by identifying matters of concern with the proposal and discussing those with the Applicant.  Unfortunately, it has not been possible to resolve those matters within the timescale allocated for the determination of this planning application and therefore, the proposal is not considered to be sustainable development. However, the Local Planning Authority has clearly set out, within its report, the steps necessary to remedy the harm identified within the reasons for refusal - which may lead to the submission of a more acceptable proposal in the future.

 

Informatives

 

1  You are advised that as the proposed development at your property benefits from a Minor Development Exemption under the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended) and as such no charge is payable. See www.southend.gov.uk/cil for further details about CIL.

 

(b)  That That ENFORCEMENT ACTION be AUTHORISED to secure the cessation of the use of the unauthorised of both premises.

 

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

 

When serving an Enforcement or Breach of Condition Notice the local planning authority must ensure a reasonable time for compliance. In this case a compliance period of 9 months is considered reasonable for the relocation of the business.

 

Taking enforcement action in this case may amount to an interference with the owners’ and/or occupiers’ Human Rights. However, it is necessary for the local planning authority to balance the rights of the owners and/or occupiers against its legitimate aims to regulate and control land within its area. In this particular case it is considered reasonable, expedient, and proportionate and in the public interest to pursue enforcement action on the grounds set out in the formal recommendation.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 209.
