Proposal: Demolish dwellinghouse, erect detached three storey building to form two self-contained flats and layout parking to rear, amenity areas and landscaping (Amended Proposal)

Applicant: Barron Homes South East Ltd

Agent: Metson Architect Ltd

Mr Perkin spoke as an objector to the application and Mr Metson responded.

Resolved:-

That PLANNING PERMISSION be REFUSED for the following reason:

01 The proposal, by reason of its scale, form, design and siting would create an overbearing relationship resulting in a material sense of enclosure and material reduction of outlook for residents of 37 Chalkwell Esplanade and 1-6 Viceroy Court to the detriment of the amenities of these occupiers. This is unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, 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 Southend Design and Townscape Guide (2009).
