22/00304/UCOU_B - 67 West Road, Shoeburyness (West Shoebury (Ward) PDF 461 KB Additional documents:
Minutes: Breach of Planning Control: Material change of use from shop (Use Class E) to dwellinghouse (Use Class C3).
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 use of the ground floor part of the building as a self-contained dwelling (Use Class C3); and
(b) Remove from the building all residential fixtures and fittings which facilitate the use including but not limited to: (i.) shower/bath tab and/or any other item which can be used for washing (showering or bathing); and (ii.) oven and/or hob and/or any other item which can be used for cooking; and (iii.) fridge and/or freezer or other items which allows the storage of food; and (iv.) clothes washing and/or drying equipment; and (v.) beds and/or sofa/beds and/or other items which can be used for sleeping.
With time for compliance of three (3) calendar months.
For the following reasons:
01 The development disrupts the continuity of the Primary Shopping Frontage and reduces activity in a key shopping area. No evidence has been provided to show that there is no reasonable prospect of the re-use of the premises as shops or services within Use Class E. It is therefore found that the material change of use of the site is significantly and demonstrably harmful to the character, function and thus the sustainability of the Primary Shopping Frontage in a key shopping area. The significant harm identified is not outweighed by the benefits of the development, including the limited provision of additional housing. The development is unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), Policies KP1, KP2, CP1, CP2 and CP4 of the Core Strategy (2007) and Policies DM1, DM3 and DM13 of the Development Management Document (2015).
02 The development offers no reasonable mitigation of the in-combination effect of the net increase of one dwelling on habitats and species in accordance with the Habitats Regulations as identified in the adopted Essex Coast Recreational Disturbance Avoidance and Mitigation Strategy (RAMS) Supplementary Planning Document (2020). This harm is not outweighed by the benefits of the development, including the additional housing proposed. This is unacceptable and contrary to the RAMS Supplementary Planning Document (2020), Policies KP1, KP2 and CP4 of the Core Strategy (2007) and Policies DM1 and DM6 of the Development Management Document (2015) which seek to protect the natural environment with specific reference to the coastal habitats. |

20/00308/UNAU_B - 186 Leigh Road, Leigh-on-Sea (Leigh Ward) PDF 219 KB Additional documents: Minutes: Breach of Planning Control: Installation of external ducting and flue to side and rear elevations.
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) Remove the unauthorised extraction flue to the rear and side; and
(b) Remove from site all materials and debris resulting from compliance with requirement (a) above.
With time for compliance of 3 (three) calendar months.
For the following reason:
01 In the absence of any valid application, it has not been demonstrated that the unauthorised development does not give rise to unacceptable odours and fumes, vibration, noise and disturbance. In the absence of noise, odour and vibration impact assessments and any professionally recommended mitigation, it has not been demonstrated that the development is not materially harmful to residential amenity. The unauthorised development is therefore unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), Policies KP2 and CP4 of the Core Strategy (2007), Development Management Document (2015) Policies DM1 and DM3 and the guidance contained within the Southend-on-Sea Design and Townscape Guide (2009).
