24/01301/FUL - 116 Arterial Road, Leigh-on-Sea (Belfairs Ward) pdf icon PDF 397 KB

Additional documents:

Minutes:

Proposal: Erect roof extension and install roller shutter

Applicant: Mr Marius Balilaj

Agent: Mr Gary Horrigan

 

Mr Pigram, a local resident, spoke as an objector to the application.

 

Resolved:-

 

That planning permission be REFUSED for the following reason:

 

The proposed development by reason of its size, scale and proximity to the site boundary would appear dominant and would result in a materially harmful sense of enclosure to the detriment of the amenities of the occupiers of 52 Oakwood Avenue. This is unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), 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 National Design Guide (2021) and the Southend-on-Sea Design and Townscape Guide (2009)

 

INFORMATIVES

 

01 You are advised that as the proposed extension(s) or change of use to your property equates to less than 100sqm of new floorspace, and does not involve the creation of a new dwelling (Class C3), the development benefits from a Minor Development Exemption under the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended) and as such no charge is payable. See the Planning Portal (www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200136/policy_and_legislation/70/community_ infrastructure_levy) or the Council's website (www.southend.gov.uk/cil) for further details about CIL.

 

02 The applicant is reminded that the development in situ is unauthorised. Failure to regularise the breach either by removing the development or by obtaining permission for the development is likely to result in the Local Planning Authority considering the expediency of enforcement action to seek to remedy any identified harm.
