Minutes: Breach of Planning Control: Use of dwellinghouse for short term lets
Resolved:-
That ENFORCEMENT ACTION be AUTHORISED to include the service of an Enforcement Notice under Section 172 of the Act and the pursuance of proceedings whether by prosecution or injunction to secure compliance with the requirements of the Enforcement Notice to require those issued with a copy of the Enforcement Notice to:
a) Cease use of the site for the provision of short term lets (sui generis);
AND
b) Revert the site to a dwellinghouse (Class C3);
AND
c) Restore the land to its condition before the breach took place;
AND
d) Remove from site all materials resulting from compliance with a) above.
With time for compliance of three (3) calendar months.
For the following reason(s):
01 The development is not appropriately located for the purposes of providing visitor accommodation and the use of the property for visitor accommodation and as a short term let reduces the provision of valuable residential resources, to the detriment of the quantity and quality of the City’s housing stock against the background of a demonstrable un-met strategic housing need. The development is therefore unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), Policies KP2, CP4 and CP8 of the Southend-on-Sea Core Strategy (2007) and Policy DM12 of the Southend-on-Sea Development Management Document (2015).
02 It has not been satisfactorily demonstrated that the development is not causing, and would not cause, a loss of amenity for neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance associated with the types, levels and times of activity undertaken by the premises’ occupiers nor that such impacts can reasonably be overcome through planning conditions. The development is significantly harming the living conditions of neighbours in this respect. This is unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), Policies KP2 and CP4 of the Southend-on-Sea Core Strategy (2007), Policies DM1 and DM3 of the Southend-on-Sea Development Management Document (2015) and the advice contained within the Southend-on-Sea Design and Townscape Guide (2009). |

20/00135/UCOU_B - 76 Park Road, Westcliff-on-Sea (Milton Ward) PDF 534 KB Additional documents: Minutes: Breach of Planning Control: Change of use from a Use Class C4 HMO to seven (7no) self-contained flats
Resolved:-
That ENFORCEMENT ACTION be AUTHORISED to include (if/as necessary) the service of an Enforcement Notice under Section 172 of the Act and the pursuance of proceedings whether by prosecution or injunction to secure compliance with the requirements of the Enforcement Notice] to require those issued with a copy of the Enforcement Notice to:
a) Cease the unauthorised use as seven (7) self-contained flats;
AND
b) Remove from all units at least one of the following: i.) Toilets, shower tubs, bath tubs or any other facility associated with a WC or a bathroom; or ii.) Cooker, hob, oven, microwave oven, kettle or any other cooking equipment or facility associated with a kitchen;
AND
c) Remove from one unit all beds, sofa-beds or any sleeping equipment or facility so that in the property there are no more than six (6no) bedrooms.
AND
d) Restore the land to its condition before the breach took place, including with provision of any communal facilities for the six bedrooms at the properties.
AND
e) Remove from site all materials resulting from compliance with requirements (a) to (d) above.
With time for compliance of three (3) calendar months.
For the following reason(s):
01 The development, by reason of the limited size of the units and their lack of any storage space, would result in cramped living conditions and a poor-quality residential environment for the existing and future occupiers to the significant detriment of their amenity. This is unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), Policies KP2 and CP4 of the Southend Core Strategy (2007), Policies DM1, DM3 and DM8 (as amended by the Technical Housing Standards - Policy Transition Statement 2015) of the Development Management Document (2015) and the advice contained within the Technical Housing Standards – Nationally Described Space Standard (2015).
02 The development offers no reasonable mitigation of the in-combination effect of the net increase of six (6no) dwellings (taking into account that the lawful HMO would be one (1no) unit) on habitats and species in accordance with the Habitats Regulations as identified in the adopted Essex Coast Recreational Disturbance Avoidance and Mitigation Strategy (RAMS) SPD (2020). This is unacceptable and contrary to the RAMS, and Policies KP1, KP2 and CP4 of the Core Strategy and Policy DM6 of the Development Management Document which seek to protect the natural environment with specific reference to the coastal habitats. |
