Additional documents:

Minutes:

Proposal: Demolish existing buildings and erect 5 storey building comprising of 17 self-contained flats with balconies and amenity space, 272 sq.m of commercial retail floorspace (Class A1) at ground floor level, layout landscaping, parking and install vehicular access onto Victor Drive (Amended Proposal).

Applicant: Plaistow Broadway Filling Stations
Agent: Phase 2 Planning

 

Resolved:

 

That PLANNING PERMISSION be REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

01 The proposal, by reason its size, mass, form and detailed design, would result in a bulky and intrusive addition to the streetscene  which harms the character and appearance of the surroundings including views of the Leigh Cliff Conservation Area and the setting of the locally listed Grand Hotel.  The development would be over scaled in the streetscene and cause material, less than substantial, harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area which is not outweighed by any identified public benefits including the number of additional residential units proposed. This is unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2019), policies KP2 and CP4 of the Core Strategy (2007) and polices DM1, DM3 and DM5 of the Development Management Document (2015) and advice contained within the Southend Design and Townscape Guide (2009).

 

 

02 The submission does not include a formal undertaking to secure an appropriate contribution to affordable housing provision to meet the demand for such housing in the area or a contribution to secondary education despite it having been found financially viable for the development proposed to make such contributions. The proposal also has a lack of acceptable servicing arrangements which would be prejudicial to highway safety due to the failure to secure the provision of the proposed layby. The application is therefore unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2019) and policies KP3 and CP8 of the Core Strategy (2007) and advice within Supplementary Planning Document 2 Planning Obligations (2015).

Proposal: Erect single storey rear extension (Amended proposal) (Retrospective).

Applicant: Ms Emma Johnson

Agent: CET Architectural Design

 

Resolved:-

 

1.    That RETROSPECTIVE PLANNING PERMISSION be REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

The proposed development would, as a result of its height and depth of its projection on the northern boundary, result in an unacceptable loss of outlook to a main habitable room of the neighbouring property and would result in an overly dominant and visually obtrusive feature within the rear garden scene, forming an unacceptable sense of enclosure to the detriment of the residential amenity of the occupiers of No. 20 Vardon Drive. The proposal is therefore unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2019), 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).

 

Informative

 

You are advised that as the proposed development equates to less than 100 sqm of  additional floorspace so 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 www.southend.gov.uk/cil for further details about CIL.

 

2.   That ENFORCEMENT ACTION be AUTHORISED to secure the removal of the unauthorised single storey rear extension.

 

The authorised enforcement action to include (if/as necessary) the authorised enforcement action to include (if/as necessary) the service of an Enforcement Notice under Section 172 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the pursuance of proceedings whether by prosecution or injunction to secure compliance with the requirements of said Notice.

 

When serving an Enforcement Notice the local planning authority must ensure a reasonable time for compliance.  In this case a compliance period of 4 calendar months is deemed reasonable.

Proposal: Extend existing pitched roof with dormers to front and rear, erect front, side and rear extensions and alter elevations to existing building to form 7No. self-contained flats with balconies/terraces, associated parking, amenity space, refuse/cycle store and install vehicle access onto Thames Drive.

Applicant: Mr Paul Miller

Agent: BDA

 

Mr Thomas (a local resident) spoke as an objector to the application.

 

Resolved:-

 

That PLANNING PERMISSION be REFUSED subject for the following reasons:

 

01 The proposed development, by reason of its excessive scale, footprint, mass, siting, unresolved design and materials, is considered to have a detrimental impact on the grain, character and appearance of the site and the wider area and would be an over scaled and incongruous addition to the streetscene. The proposal is therefore unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2019), Policies KP2 and CP4 of the Core Strategy (2007), Policies DM1, DM3 and DM6 of the Development Management Document (2015) and the Design and Townscape Guide (2009).

 

02 The proposal fails to meet the requirements of the Nationally Described Space Standards (2015) in relation to flat F, and the parking arrangements have resulted in an unacceptable outlook in relation to the rear bedroom of Flat C and the development as a whole fails to provide an adequate provision of amenity space for future occupiers. The proposal overall will therefore result in a poor standard of accommodation for future occupiers and is unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2019), Policies KP2 and CP4 of the Core Strategy (2007), Policies DM1, DM3 and DM8 of the Development Management Document (2015) and the Design and Townscape Guide (2009).

 

03The proposed parking arrangements and associated vehicular movements at the site would result in an increased level of noise and disturbance which would be to the detriment of the amenities of 104 Thames Drive. The proposal is therefore unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2019), Policies KP2 and CP4 of the Core Strategy (2007), Policies DM1, DM3 and DM6 of the Development Management Document (2015) and the Design and Townscape Guide (2009).

 

04 The location of the proposed vehicular access, so close to the convergence of Marine Parade, Thames Drive and Belton Way, is such that it cannot safely accommodate the increase in vehicular movements arising from a development of the nature proposed, to the detriment of highway safety and the free flow of traffic. This impact will be exacerbated in peak holiday periods when traffic on these roads becomes saturated by visitor, resident and business journeys. The proposal is therefore unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2019), Core Strategy (2007) policies KP2, CP3 and CP4 and policy DM15 of the Development Management Document (2015).

Proposal: Raise ridge height, erect part one, part two and part three storey rear extension with dormers to rear and roof lights to front, convert dwellinghouses into 6 self-contained flats, install layout parking, cycle storage, bin stores and amenity space (Amended Proposal).

Applicant: Mr Paul Miller

Agent: BDA Architecture

 

Resolved:-

 

That PLANNING PERMISSION be REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

01

The proposed extensions would by reason of their size, siting and design be incongruous, poorly integrated, unsympathetic and overly dominant additions to the detriment of the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area including the rear garden scene. This would be unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, 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).

 

02

The proposed rear extensions, as a result of their height, design, size, rear extent and proximity to site boundaries, would appear as excessively dominant and visually overbearing features resulting in an unacceptable sense of enclosure to the neighbouring properties to the south of the site at 16 St Benet’s Road to the detriment of their amenity. This would be unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, 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).

 

 

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.

 

Informative

 

 

Please note that this application would be liable for a payment under the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended) if planning permission had been granted.
