18th June, 1975.

HOCKLEY

c/229J75 — U.S. Plot 7779 off Braanerton Road, Bette Farm, — D.A.Moo&jr Ltd.

Outline application for residential development.

Site Area 10.76 acres (CoiJifey MW2TEIR).

Subsequent to the meeting of the panel held on the 10th March when members met representatives of Donald Moody Limited, the Company has submitted this application seeking planning permission in outline for residential use of the whole of the site of 10.76 acres. The site is identical to that included in application ROC/llOl/73 and is allocated for public open space purposes on the review development plan. No decision has been made on ROO/ll0l/73 and • the applicant company has appealed to the Secretary of State against the Council's failure to make a decision; the appeal is to be dealt with by local public inquiry on the 15th July next. The drawing submitted with the application indicates an area of 3 acres on the eastern boundary for Community Centre purposes and the applicants have stated that they would expect a decision on the purchase of this land to be taken within three months of the grant of planning perinssion to enable any completion of purchase to be effected about six months from the grant of planning permission, The application includes the offer of Betts Wood and land to the north on sfriilar terms to those made in the case of application ROC/llOl/73.

The Highway Authority has no objection in principle to the development but makes the following recommendations:—

(a) the estate road. should be an extension of the road proposed from land to the west and no development should be commenced until the road. on the adjoining site has been constntcted from the classified road (B.1O13) to the western boundary of the application site. (b) there should be no vehicular access to Braanerton Road until that road is made up. My recommendation on this proposal is for conditional approval subject to dealing with the application as a substantial departure from the provisions of the development plan and accepting the offer of Betts Wood and adjoining land for use as a public open space. I dealt with the background of this site and neighbouring land in my report to Development Services Committee on let August last when I recommended conditional approval to application ROC/ll0l/73 and the conditions I now suggest are similar to those put • forward last year, i.e. 1. (a) Approval of the details of the siting, design and erernal appearance of the buildings and the means of access thereto (hereinafter called "the reserved matters") shall be obtained from the local planning authority. (b) Application for approval of the reserved matters shall be made to the local planning authority within three years beginning with the date of this outline permission.

594 'I. 2. The development hereby permitted ball be begun on or before whichever is tte later or the following dates:-

(a) the eApi1ation of five years beginning with the date of this outline permiesion. (1,) the expazaton of two years £razn the fInal approval of the reserved mM ters, or in the case of approval on different dates, the final approval of the last such matter to be approved. 3. The layout and. funot ion of interim I e±ate roads shall have regard to the highay standards included in the pub] ication "Desii Guide for Residential Area& pith] Ished by the Reset County Council and shall provide f or (a) access to the westetn bowLthcy .f the site at such position, width and a] tent as shall adequabeiy effect access to land to the west the subject of planning permission 1100/202/73,

(b) accese aL such width aM alignment as may be ag-reed with the local planning authority to effect access to Bramerton Road, such access shall not be opened up to vehicular traffic until Bramerton Ibad is made up and becomes a highway maintainable at public expense. 4 No dwelling erected puxsuaark to U-US planning permission shall be occupied until ar'ieas to the satisfaction of the local planning authority has been provided from land to the west of the site.

5. A comprehensive scheme of landscaping shall be submitted to the local planning authority as part of the detalied submission. Such scheme shall include br isolating the industrial development along the eastern boundary of the site from the proposed. residential development and for not less than 10 per cent of the rest of the site to be included lot' amenity and play space purposes. Additionally such scheme shall indicate location and types of all screen walls and fences, surfacing materials, any proposed changes in ground levels and the proposed location4 species and sites of all trees, shrubs and hedges to be planted. Such planting as approved shall be carried out during the first available planting season foil owing conm2encement of development. 4ny tree or shrab dying within five years of planting shall be replac-ei. by the applicant or their successors in title to the satisfactIon of the local planning authority.

6. Prior to the cnencement of any development of the site the local planning authotity shall be satisfied in regard to the provisions to be made for the disposal cf surface wdter run off from the site. 7. The layout shall provide for the retention of registered trees and for the duration of the building construction period they shall be protected by fencing of a type and in positions to be agreed with the local planning authority at the detailed submission stage. The Rockley Parish Council has considered the proposal and submits the following statement of official representations:—

23 O1]TLThE APPLICATION FOR! TJALDEVXLPLQLO.S0J752 .!TON RCA]) HOCJCLBf

APPLICATION NO0 ROC/229/7

RE2BESENTATIO}1$ OP HOCKLWT PARISH COtBiCIL

Having considered the applicants' present prcp'sals, the Parish Council feel that inadequate provision has been nude for public amenities0 It is assumed that this application has been submitted by the applicants in the ligiit of the knowledge of previous requests by the Parish Council and negotiations with the Distil c t Council tha L this land or part thereof be preserved for public use0 In. principle, the view of the Parish Council is that the present dsigoated use of public playing fields should be adhered • to, but having regard to changing circumstances affecting the village as already advised, the Parish Council -douid be prepared to accept the proposals provided 'the site allocated for community centre use is increased to a minimum of 4 acres0 Attached is a sketch plan showing the revised line of the proposed community centre site which would be acceptable to the Parish0

To enable the Committee to give detailed consideration to those representations a letter of explanation has also been received as follows:—

"(i) The Pariah Councfl are aware of the delicate nature of the negotiations but feel that the exercise is pointless unless a site of adequate size is acquired to provide land for a suitable community centre to serve an enlarged community0 The whole project is future planning and mast envisage service to a population of l5/2OOOO persons0 The ethnLi project is one of negotiation having due regard to the economies of the that tar and at this juncture the Parish Council feel that a strong case could still be made for seeking to acquire the whole site for its desigeated. use and2 indeed, are under strong pressure from local residents that this be done0 However9 it is prepared to proceed on the compromise it has suggested provided both the District Council and the applicants appreciate that, coupled with the altenati'v site offered by the applicant2 a substantial part of the "desigoateri" site should be available at arcasonajcef2Lublic use0 The minimum area suggested above still represents less than 4O of the total area of which something up to 1 acre would have been needed as a buffer to the industrial estate.

(2) To date the Paritih Council have not eended monies in having detailed plans or their ideas prepared, particularly as it has yet to be established the extent of the land which will be available and, just as important, whether the development of such land will be carried out jointly or AxclusiveTiy by either Council0 The on1y indication known on the latter point was that the probability would be that the District Council would wish to deal with it independently. Clearly, when the land area is known, plans can be prepared .or curtailed accordingly0 A case can easily be made for the whole of the area and the site could easily accommodate the much needed and publicised swimming pool for the district as well as for the community centre0 In essence, development plans can be tailored to the available land but, in the view of the Parish Council, 4 acres is the minimum area compatible with suitable facilities for the enlarged community.

96 () Turning to tbt- ?Uian ial aspet ta o1 th mat ter, al thoui the Parish Council have indicated a tjjlljns to assist in a joint vent-ore, they have to date re';eived no indication from the District Council tether this ctfex. is Ii be taken up0 They have a fund of £10,000 inediate1y availaiiie for the purchase of the site provided they cc udder that 11 e aakiri.a price i ci coinpatible with the existing use value of the land. aM is n't based on residential valuese Additionally, they would be prepared to raise further Thuds to develcip the site in the longer term but, clearly, would repairs an equal opportunity t participate fri. the decisions leading to such development0 These aspects axe clearJ' thc-i subject matter of joint disrussarjne In depth immediately the &,;ision is maths in principle by yur Counc ii as to whet her i t propos se to aqutre and develop the land itscilf or whether it is prepared ii assist in its acquisition by my Onunuij or as a joint v&ntmre0 It is assumed fr,m the negotiations which have taken p14cc to date that the District Council iSq in principle, prepared to rccowmend that the site or part of It be acquired0 However, unless t can be satisfied that the developer is prepared to give an assurance to negotiate the sale of the site, whatever its size, at a price which Is in the sphere of agric-ultuxalf private playing fields use the Parish Council r&d that the District Counci, as planning aut.hori ty, should treat the application as a departure from the Review Plan and reject it0t'

The Hockley Ratepayers Assoniatiun has considered the future of the site and has made proposals about how it should be used in a letter' to the Hockley Parish Council That letter is reprodu"ed here for members infonnation0

Now that planning permission for the development of the l07 acres at Betts Parm/Bramerton Road as private housing is being actively pursued, we yould like to take this opportunity to object to this proposed development on what is the laat available centrally located site In Hockley0 Furthemore, we wish to propose alternative plans9 more in keeping with the open space des Lge.ated on this land, as well as being of great benefit to Hockley and the District of Rochford0 We would suggest that the following amenities are provided, perhaps as part ot the phased scheme being completed in several stages0

1 CozowvnhiLCau+rs This would b a building of sufficient size to incorpo rate a hell to accommodate 200 persons for a dance or similar social fune tion, as well as being equiped wi th a stage and changing rooms, The building would also incorporate a kitchen, bar and a r4tcption rr,om on ground floor, with anzmber of small rooms on te first t1or; the hail itself being of double heigiat0 2. pprts This facility is very' scarce throughout the area, and the erction of a number of courts would help to satisfy the demand, as well as being an extremely good sourne of income0 50 4jl The need for a public swimming pooi has long been flet tbroupjtout the district, aM + central locaticn of this site, being placed within very ready access to all fon of public tranaport, lends itself to being the ideal place for this facility.

4, Termis Courts and Bowling Gven The site would be ideal for the provision of' tease much needed facilities0

S I I 5. Chfldrens'Playgpd. Such a recreational development would not be complete without the provision of a c-Inldrens' playground, of swings and other apparatus and this could possibly incorporate a paddling/boating pool.

6. Gardens. Finally to complete the scheme the area would 'be landscaped with appropriate gardens and seating areas.

The site itself consists of 10.7 acres, and without farther detailed stmlies and survey of the actual site, it is difficult to qualify, with any degree of accuracy, what the minimum requirements of area for the full provision of the scheme would be. It is obvious that it would require a considerable proportion, if not all of this space, bearing in mind that adequate car parking would also be required. With this in mind we would therefore urge that. the prime consideration should be to obtain the whole of the sites it is obvious that with the present finanuial climate, the completion of such a scheme would take many years. However, the future implementation of these very necessary amenities cannot be made unless the land is appropnated at tins time. Now is the last opportunity to obtain tins land in order to provide the facilities that are so desperately needed."

HOCKLEY '-Dets RanD, Main Road -BettsWoo&Estates Layout and cons truot estate roads and erect 238 detached and semi—detached houses

Site Area: About 25 acres.,

In May 974, conditional outline planning permission was granted for the site and details of roads and houses were under consideration. The Developers were advised of architectural and highway matters which needed attention but no amending drawings were submitted until the 9th June tIns year. I am anxious however that consideration should be given quickly to what is now proposed to enable an appeal, down for hearing on the 15th July against failure to give a decision, possibly to be withdrawn. There has not been time to examine the details of the latest proposals but the fullest possible report will be given at the meeting. I can say that the form of the development comprises detached and semL-detached two-.storey houses and the policies of the Design Guide have, to a large extent, been used in composing the sohame.

The County Planner is of the opinion that Betts Farehouse should he considered for preservation and he reports on the building as follows:—

A colonially prototypical house having a stairs in front of its central chimney—stack, which rises above the eaves in stairs—wing form. The front elevation has been cased in 14" red, flemish-bonded briokwork, the ends and roar wall remain weather'boarded, The front door is Georgian, of 6 fielded panels, beneath a pediment upon consoles; dentiles are placed inside the pediment. The cast—iron knocker pivots within the grasp of a human hand, also in iron.

Left and right of the front door are stone—silled sash windows, in 8 panes per sash; their wide sash-'boxes being visible within the brick returns. Three sash windows are evenly spaced aoross the first floor elevation, while the 'wing' for the attic stair has one sash window and pilastered front corners. 598 The timber—frame of the east gable can be seen; it is of oak, pegged; and of a style and seciional-proportion indicating a date during the last quarter of the l6bh Century. Th' stack above roof level, is plain and square and may, for that reason, be renewed at its top. One carved prick—post can be seen, in the centre of the eastern gable; and bridging-joists support the first floor in longitudinal alignment.t'

The possibility of the preservation of this house has not been raised before. 'When the outline application was under consideration it was envisaged that the building would be demolished and its curtilage included in the layout of the new estate, A decision is required regarding the serving of a Building Preservation Notice.

Objections to the development have been received from the owner of GSA Itin Road on the grounds that:—

(a) facilities and amenities in Hcckley are inadequate for the population expected,

(b) existing residents bordering the estate will have their privacy invaded, (c) the point of access onto the classified road would cause a hazard.

OuJtine application to erect three detached houses and garages.

(Site Area: About 0.61 acres)

I recommended conditional approval in this case last January but Development Services Committee referred the application to this Working Party since it is within the area of Hockley vnder examination.

The proposal is for three houses at a low density with a shared access onto the Main Road at a point adjoining SO Main Road. The Committee was unhappy about an additional point of access onto the classified road arid considered it appropriate for the Working Party to lock at the case in conjunction with the layout of land to the north proposed to be developed by Donald Moody Limited.

In the layout submitted by Donald Moody provision is made to gain access to the land behind No. SO Main Road thus any traffic of vehicles would use the eetate road system and gain access to the classified road at the proposed junction next to 64 kan Road. On balance though I find it difficult to support the argument that the site should be served from the proposed internal estate road system and that the application be reftsed. I consider that three houses sharing an access of adequate uidth directly onto the classified road at this point, would not aggravate highway safety to the extent of justifying a refusal of pernission and more particularly the owner would unreasonably be prevented from developing his land now and would have to await the development of the adjoining land before access could be aohieved

Particular and detailed consideration was given to Item 8 and a letter was read from the developers offering voluntarily £5,000 towards the provision of additional oar parking spaces in the town as none could now be provided in the layout as now submitted. Members noted that to achieve a reduction in the mass of the flank wall abutting 4 BIgh Street as they desired it was necessary to delete the oar parking area as they anticipated at their last meeting. The Panel felt that the developers had taken trouble to meet their wishes and that having regard to all the circumstances the scheme as now proposed was the best that could be achieved0 RECONMF[NDED That decisions be made in accordance with the nnnend.ations ,ppearing in the schedule appended to this report with the undenentioned exception:— Pare 5 = RoCIQa5 That the application be approved subject to the following amendments:— The heading to read "Mrtend ground floor at rear, reconstruct front wall from ground level to eaves level and use first floor for offices".

NOTE: Outline permission for 3 detached ohalets on this site was given in November 1973 under reference 1100/916/73 Each plot had the required 30 feet frontage. The accompanying plan showed surface water and foul water sewers running dowa the adjoining site, plotted from information given by the Rural ))istrict Council. It was later discovered that these sewers pass down the south western dide of the application site and this has necessitated the loca1tion of the first house 10 feet from the boundary. Thus this hot2s has a plot width of 34 feet leaving the remaining two wi4h 28 feet each The applicant has a valid dutline permission for three detached houses and in the circumstances I recommend approval.

ACTiON" 6O9 The Director of Technical Services reported that this Circular urged the provision of more dwellings for small households (over 50% of households in Great Britain were stated to consist of only 1—2 people) end the speeding up of the provision of houses generally0

It was considered that the first object could be achieved by building smaller units or by making further use of existing housing stock0 The second object could be attained by the stream— tiring of procedures, the use of new or prefabricated methods of building where appropriate, the speeding up of planning permissions and avoidance of the unnecessary diversion of resources to provide for the car0

It was considered that one matter in particular should be brought to the attention of the Oommittee in view of the policy decisions involved0

It was considered in present economic circumstances economies must be made in the provision for cars for Local Authorities Housing Schemes (para0 32) The Circular goes on to state mt

Initial car provision should not exceed the proportion likely to be fully utilised within the early years of the scheme0 It. should noitually be made in the foam of open haMs tandings; garages should not be provided0 Asnexpa0j4 As to the ultimate provision Local Authorities are asked. to adopt a realistic approach in assessiiig require- ments but to design layouts so as to allow adequate space for these requirements to be met ]ater0 I Annex jara l6 The Department will took to Local Authorities to bring these arrangements into effect whenever possible on tenders accepted from now on and will operate the procedure at HCY 1 stage on the basis of the preceding paragraphs as from 1st July I975

Raving considered the points made by the Director of Technical Sertrl.ces on this circular It was Va Rssae& (t) that, in view of the fact that in future loan sanction is not forthcoming for the provision of garages, no garages be provided on new Council Housing Schemes, it being understood that on existing schemes where loan sanction has already been obtained, the garages will still be provided0 (2) The number of hardstandings that are to be provided in lieu of garages in further schemes will be equal to the number of garages that would otherwise be provided (Le0 100%) and these should consist of a garage base as well as the hard— standing in front of it as required by the Design Guide0

KAIIDSTAIWIIICS AND KEJ1IB CROSSflIGS

610. The Director of Health and Housing reported that now the Council was responsible throughout the District for maintaining Urban Highways and in the light of the current financial crisis it was considered to be an appropriate tine to reconsider the policy relating to the prevision of footway crossings and permission for Council tenants to park motor vehicles in the gardens of Council houses0 A discussion between Officers of the Departments of Finance, Technical Services and Housing indicated it would be financially beneficial to the Council if tenants were permitted in appropriate cases to provide hardstandings at their cn expense, provided they were in positions and to standards acceptable to your Officers0 It was also considered that no commercial vehicles should be stationed upon such hardstandings and that, where appropriate, gates should be installed at the tenants cost0

EEC MNIXRD (1) That the Director of Health and Housing be authorised to determine applications from tenants of Council dwellings to provide hardetandings and entrance gates, subj ect to the cost of the necessary footway crossings being met by the tenant a

(2) That no commercial vehicles be penaitted to be parked on such hardstandings0 (544) XPMThIT'TJRE CHANGES-CIRCULAR (4L1

611. The Director of Health and Housing reported as follows:

Before 1973/74 expenditura on municipalisation by glIsh Local Authorities was some £50 million a year; expenditure in 1974/75 under Circular 70/74 arrangements is estimated at £180 million0

The Secretary of State believes that, if sensibly directed, the rate of municipalisation achieved in 1974/75 is sufficient to enable Local Authorities 'to make adequate progress in inproving poor living conditions and has accordingly decided to maintain that rate of expenditure in l975/76

However, the extra funds required must be found within the present public expenditure provision for housing.

In view of the need to concentrate acquisition of property within stress areas Circular 70/74 Is cancelled and the following categories are substituted:— .

(a) acquisition in pursuance of a confined compulsory purchase order to meet a statutory obligation to acquire a particular property; (b) acquisition of tenanted property in areas which have been declared and. notified to the Department as housing action areas, priority neighbourhoods or general improvement areas; (c) acquisition of properties which have been standing empty for at least six months in areas in which there is a serious shortage of housing and where the purpose of acquisition is to relieve homeLessness;

(d) re-acquisition of houses, previously sold by a Local Authority under the tame of a pre—emption clause imposed on the original sale0 Loan consent will not be required for the tine being provided the total cost of a single transaction involving a number of properties does not exceed £100,000 and the rateable value is not more than l/o higher than the average Council house.

The effect of this restriction is to prevent this Authority from purchasing property unless vacant for six months and this will seriously curtail the Council's policy- in the housing of homeless families0 It is known that 20 families are in real danger of losing their homes and there is only one further property to be handed over which has been purchased for this purpose0 I Where poss Lble existing properties which have been divided into units of accommodation for homelessness are now having the units sub-divided into individual rooms9 but nevertheless there will almos t certainly be insufficient accommodation for our needs, particularly havIng regard to the unknown number of families who may suddenly be deprived of their home, and this will inevitably result in the increased use of bed and breakfast accommodation0 (225)'

6l3 The Director of Technical Services reported that a P0Cc item was included in the contract for 27 prefabricated garages and. 25 external store buildings to be supplied and erected by a 'specialist contractor0 An up—to—date estimate for this wo± was

- 644 I)ue to the prominent poe1 bione of the garages on site, it' was considered essential that they be of pleasing appearance, well constructed and be relatively vandal—proof, qualities which were sadly lacking in a large number of the prefabricated garages on the market0

The "Woking" garage, manufactured by Bell and Webster Ltd was constructed of exposed aggregate vertical concrete panels, concrete fascias and conceaied gutters and, rainwater pipes and did. therefore meet the specification required0

Bell & Webster Ltd0 were successful on the previous four occasions when tenders were competitively souit0

Rousing has recommended that he is prepared to accqpt the Scheme as being the type of properties which the Council require' to house people off their Rousing Waiting List0 The Director of ¶Eechnieal Services reports as followe—

The scheme is in the torn of a' new cul—de—sac serving 10 houses of which 17 houses are arranged in two mews ceurt layouts0 The remaining 10 houses have their frontage to Seaview Drive0 All dwellings are two storey and traditionally constructed0 There are three fouzCbedroom six person houses with integral garages and thirty—four three—bedroom six prson houses with attached or separate garages. The dwellings meet the Parker Morris Standards with the exception of the second W000 requirement which could not be included in the desits0 .

Central heating Is by a gas warn air system to the ground floor only in accordance with Parker Morris Standards and hot water is proflded from a gas heated cylinder0 The specification is generaLly similar to the Council a own; the main variation being the use of timber windows throughout0 The Director of Finance reports as follows:- 10 QPolic In accordance with Minute 893/74, it is Council0 a policy to approve to principle the making of loans to registered housing associations subject to the sohemes9 financial viability, compliance with the conditions of Parts II and III of the Housing Act 1974 and report to the Housing Services Committee0 Minute 178/75 approved loans to two housing associations who did not stricUy compiy with the above mainly in that because of national delays they had not yet received registrations Circumstances are still much the sane and it is proposed to seek CouuciPs approval to the current application on the same

(b) Grants

It will be recalled that the Goveimnient grants on approved schemes are such that no cost should fall on the local authority and the annual deficit above should therefore be covered by such grants.

(c) Loan Period

The Housing Association has requssted that the loan be for a period of 40 years end not the nonnal 60 years and subject to the Ministry approving the slightly higher debt charges for grant purposes, it would appear in order to agree the shorter period0

The question of adoption of the roads does need to be clarified before any agreement with the Housing Association can be finalised. Seaview Drive was made. up by Grippe & Elmore under requirements of a Section 47 Notice. An agreement was made whereby the contractors paid the total cost of road works to an adoptable standard of all road frontages owned by them0 In addition they paid o% of the road works of all the frontages they did not own. The Essex County Council paid the remaining 50% of the non—owned frontages. It would seem that a 7 similar agreement was made with the Rochford Rural District / Council in respect of the surface water sewer in the road. a" ewicesCoittee

DELlliGfl0N OF POWERS TO OFFICERS - FOUSUTG ASSOCIATIONS

615 On a motion moved by the Chairnan of the Coancil9 it was, That, in the interests of expediency, once a Housing Association Scheme has been emprcwed in principle by this Committee that all subsequent matters arising therefrom, S including the power to s±gti any necessary Contracts9 Agreements W or other documentS, be delegated to the Directors0 (2112)

6160 The Director of Adminis tration reported that a let ter had been received, from the owner of 21 London Hill, Rayleigh asking if the Council wou:Ld consider selling to him a part of the plot of land. which adjoins his property0 The land which has a frontage of 552 and a depth of 150', was purchased by the frner Rayleigh Urban District Council for £10,000 for homsing purposes in Nsy 1972 and outline approval was obtained for the erection of two houses and garages on the front of the site0 No further action had been taken on the development of the site0 Heuaing Services Committee

The Director of Technical Services felt that because of the high level of the site in relation to London Hill the disposal of part of the land at the rear, as requested by the owner of the adjoining proper-by, would considerably reduce the amenity value of the site as a whole0

Resolved that this land be retained for housing purposes and in due course the Director of Technical Services present plans for the development of same bearing in mind the housing need of staff employed by the Council in the vicinity of this site required to work on a shift basis0 (6447)

(i) Non—availability to the Contractor at the commencement of th Conttact of 2 pieces of land0 (2) The form of the Road Closing Order which reg7uired completion of the oarriaeway footpaths end street lighting of the new road to the north, prior to closure of Halting Villas Road0 a gSeniQesnittee

(3) Exceptionally inclement weather at the start of the Contract0

(4) Tests and additional foundation work required as the result of poor soil conditions encountered during excavations0

They further noted that as a result of these delays the Contractor was seeking an eight month extension of Contract but the Director of Technical Service's was only prepared to agree a maxinum of four months, thus requiring completion in February 1977.

Consideration was given' to the reason for the non—availability of parts pf the site at the commencement of the Contract and the consecjuent action of the Chief Exeoutive

Although appreciating this was a matter c.rried over from the former Rochford. Rural District Council the Contract had been sied after 1st April 19749 and the members expressed grave disquiet at the financial implications occasioned by the delays and claim for extension of time0

Having considered the vartous points at some length, the members agreed that the Contract now having been sigoed and the work in progress, the Officers should take all possible steps to urge on the Contractor the necessity to complete the work within the tine limit set out in the Contract, and to keep any extension pf tine to an absolute minimum0 Resolved (1) That the report of the Director of Technical Services be received and noted0

(2) That the Director of Technical Servi oe inform the Contractor that the Council are only prepared at this stage to agree an extension of four months (1* months for inclement weather and 2* mouths for the restrictions placed on the Contractors programme) thereby extending the completion date until February 1977 (4489)

This scheme had not 7et received detailed planning consent and the layout had not been approved by this Committee0 It had not been possible to refer the matter either to the District Valuer or to the Department of the Ehivironnient and there was no progress to report0 It was understood that certain of the problems on the sight splay were likely to be overcome and it was hoped that the planning application would be considered very shortly0 It was therefore possible that in the next cycle of meetings some progress could be made,, (4184) (e) Ashingçlon Road I Note0 Cotmcillor C0 D0 Brigtt disclosed a pecuniary interest in this matter and left the meeting, taking no part in the discussions or voting thereon.

The members were advised by the Director of Adminintration that although a price for the land had been' agreed the Vendor was insisting that the Council pay his lea]. wid Surveyors Peas0 This was being resisted0 In addition there were certain problems arising out of the sight splay requirementp of the Rssex County Council end the drainage of the gite0 Until these had been resolved it was not possible to obtain planning consent and. there fore to complete the purchase of the land0 The Director of Technical Services reported on the sight splay position and the drainage aspect0 He indicated that planning of this si te and the adjacent land was proc&eding despite the problem0 It was apparent to members that in this case it was likely to be a very considerable time before the completion of the purchase of the site and the land adjoining thereto could be achieved0 (4952) ROCUFORD DISTRICT COUNCIL

The Draft Order was on deposit 20th June to 18th July.

650 S Health & Highways Committee

RECC MENDED That the Counoil 's objection be sustained and be reiterated in the strongest possible terms setting out the hazards that mimbers all agree will without doubt be exacerbated by increasing the speed limit, bearing in mind, the present and future development proposed along this section of London Road and the tendency of motorists to exceed prescribed speed limits and the ouncil's genuine fear that the 40 m.p.h. limit, if it is approved, will be extended in practice to the railway bridge at Rayleigh, since motorists tend not to decelerate immediately on entering a 30 m.p.h, zone.

HIGHWAY 0L4!TSING 643, The Director of Technical Services reported as followsi— "At present mechanical sweeping of highways within the District is carried by 2 flaw Knox Pathmaster MLII. Each machine is scheduled to cover specific areas, operating on a weekly cycle. 'When bought originally the machines covered a limited area but on re-organization the schedules were altered, so that' the enlarged District was covered and agreement was reached with the County Oouncil that in general the District would be responsible for highway and public health sweeping.

657 As a result of the change in work load It has become obvious that the Pathmasters do not meet tho work requirements. One machine is completely out of action and is being used to provide parts for the second machine. This latter machine is being maintained with difficulty and is expected. to break down completely within a short period0 It is estimated that in recent weeks on average only 65% of the mechanical sweeping schedule has been completed and that there will be no improvement.

The way to improve I to replace the Pathmasters with a new vehicle and I would recommend an MIC. 200/210 Road Suction Cleaner manufactured by Johnston Brc'here (Engineering) Ltd. This type of machine is used by similar a' tnorities and it is kno'wn that it will meet our requirements. The est- m ecL current purchase cost excluding road tax and insurance is £10 .0, with a delivery period of 30 weeks0 Payment will, therefore, be ir cia finanôial year 1976/77.

bile intervening period it will be necessary to modify the sweeping -hedules, both manual and mechanical, to allow for the use of only one Blaw Knox0 It will be necessary to hire a second vehicle at periodic intervals to assist in improving the present standard0 Hire charges are estimated at £130 per week."

RECOMMMThJKD (i) That an NEC 200/210 Road $uction Cleaner be purchased as soon as possible from Johnston Brothers (Engineering) Ltd., of Dorking, Financial Standing Order 4 7(a) applying.

(2) That in the period before delivery of the Suction Cleaner, a vehicle of sImilar type be hired for two weeks in every four at a cost of £2,470, for the remainder of the financial year 1975/76, the Finance and Personnel Committee being requested to grant a supplementary estimate in the sum of £1,235.

CONTRACTS FOR WOBIC ON CLAIMEID ROADS

644 The Director of Technical Services reported as follows:— I

Ihen discussing arrangements for implementing the Counciiis claim for urban roads under Section 181(2) of the Local Government Act 1972 with the Cotnty Council, It was discovered that the County Council made arrangements for obtaining mateeials, hired plant and specialist work by tender for themselves and district councils if required.

The tender arrangements complywith the County Oounci])s standing orders0 Once a contract had been let by the County Council, it was then left to the district council to make tie necessary I arrangements for execution of work dotered by the contr3ot including placing of orders, supervision of work, payment of accounts0

Examples of the type of work to be tendered for and the period of tender ate:

A0 Plant Hire Lorry Hire Half Yearly Grass Cutting

B. (i) titupave Slurry Seal0 (ii) Cleaning and resealing joints in concrete roads0 Annual (iii) Provision and spraying of wee&-killer, Iv) Provision and laying of road making materials. Health Qo4ttee C. Machine surfacing Kerbing, paving and drainage works quarterly Supply and erection of fencing It was decided to take advantage of the facilities offered and the County Council was notified of our requirements bearing in mind the allocation which had been granted

The County Council notified me of the successful contractor for the work in which I was interested0 In discussing procedures with the Director of Finance it became obvious that such an approach did not technically comply with Financial Standing Orders."

ECOMP WE]) That where provision is made tn the approved estimates for work to be carried out but in the opinion of the Director of Technical Services such work should be done by contract, if the County Council have a contract for such work or are proposing to let such a Contract, then authority be granted to the Director of Technical Services to take advantage of the County Council Contract, it being deemed that use of such a contract complies with the provisions of Financial Standing Order 4.7 (e), subject to notification of such action being given to the Committee. (4680)

(NOTE - Action of Chairnanof tbe_Qo1mq4undQr Standing Orj.ft).

I The Development Services Committee at their meeting on let July 1975 accepted the recommendation of the Panel that the application for residential development of the 10.7 acre site should be approved. They also accepted the recommendation that the Recreation and Amenities Coimnittee and the tend Sub—Committee should consider the offer by the developers of the 3 acre site. Because the granting of planning permission on this site would be a departure from the review development plan the application must be considered by the County Council and planning permission is therefore unlikely to be granted before October 1975.

The Committee were asked for their views on how this matter should be considered.

Resolved that this matter be considered as the last item for Ei meéta,ng of this Ccmmittee on 23rd September 1975. (280) CCLUSION.OP T!W1 PDBMO 66.

It was felt that questions put in this way were unsatisfactory as the officers, not being aware of the question to be raised, could not reasohably be expected to provide a oompete answer and in which the member wap rarely satisfied with the reply received0 In addition, valuable Committee time was wasted in dealing with an abortive question3

REICONMIIIUDED (t) That the DirectOr of Technical Services report \ to the Development Services Committee upon areas suitable for 682 delegation, so as to allow the Committee more time to deal with matters wfricb at present have tc be referred to Panels because of the lack of sufficient time available to the Committee to

68) wa REPORT OP TEE DIRECTOR OP LDMINIS'rR&TION

The Scheme is now, because of efforts in the pasty so we'll 1i&t and of such proved value, that it is not genera}Iy necessary to "sell" training. Head Teachers will, in many cases, ask for courses and children come forward in generally satisfactory numberst Equipment is not a major problem although some movement is still necessary but this is minimised by the adoption of "one<-week" courses referred to below.

The test at the end of each course is now carried out by Police Officers. This helps ensure a consistent County—wide standard which is now higher thaw ever6 Beoause of this more strict exanination, and to at thin 4jeSber standards generally, the pupil/instractor ratio has been lowered fo 12:1 and may need to be lower ed ftzrther, Another change is the • shift from the one afternoon a week for seven 'weeks course to concentrated courses on every afternoon for one fufl week. This allc'ws a far better utilisation of equipment and pupils do not need to spend time revising last weeks teaching, As a one—week course does not cause very much disruption to timetables, some Head Teachers are now prepared to include cycling training in their curriculum. Typical of the reaction to the new set—up is the following letter from Mr1 P. Hampson, Head. Teacher of Grove County Junior SchooL0

"Thank you for the concentrated effort which you and Nrsa Eabley have made to train Grove Schccl Children to ride their bicycles safely. I was delighted to learn that the last group had a2hieved 100% passes in the Proficiency Test.

As far as the school is concerned we shall be pleased for a group of children to take their training during the first week of the school holiday and as soon as you confirm that the Education Authority is willing, I will make the necessary arrangements.

The new concentrated one week course has been a tremendous success from our point of view and I 'hope you will continue ta do the training in this way0 " The above changes have meant that additional instructors have had to be trained and that Lt was not possible to use some instructors who had taught for many years with every success under the old system0 This caused slight delays in starting training tIns year but, after this slow start, momentum has now- been gathered and the position is thought to be reasonably satisfactory althougn there is no cause for complacency and. efforts will not be relaxed.

Cycling training has always been very well done in the District and last year Rochford was one of only three Districts in Essex to meet. the national target of six trained pupils per thousani popuLation. This year, by virtue of the excel3ent base b'nlt by the hard woñters of the past, we can hope for even better resolts and this view is supported by the figures in the Appendix0 If the estimated numbers attend as shown, 45-50% more children will receive training tins year.

732. Note: Councillor D.C. Wood disclosed a pecuniary interest in the following matter, left the meeting and took no part in the discussion or voting thereon. The Director of Administration reported as follows:— tiTh July, 1974, the Council received a letter from a resident whose cottage is overhung by very large elm trees dying of dutch elm diseases The writer said lie, his wife and children lived in fear, especially on windy nights and that he had come home late at night from work to find his wife and small children sheltering in the garden shed rather than stacy in the house. On other occasions his wife had walked about in the rain because of her fear of the trees.

Asked for his advice, the County Estates Officer and Valuer reported in August that they were very large trees indeed! for such a small confined space0 The Porestry Officer understood the reluctance of the owner to fell fine trees but said that there was no point in keeping them when they were dead and recommended that they be felled whilst their timber was still of some value saying that he, personally, "would never have felt safe ...... living in the shadow of these enormous elm&. The owner was given a full copy of the report to which he replied saying that he would ttdo what he always intended to do. Wait until the end of the season, see the extent of the damage and then, most reluctantly, have the diseased trees removed". On 1st May, 1975, the owner was reminded of his stated intention when he said he would not be hurried by the other residents, neither would he disturb the rooks nesting in the tree, but would probably do something later in the year.

In a letter of 9th May the owner was reminded, briefly, of the history and the whole of Section 50 of the Essex County Council Act 1962 was set out0 This section provides that, if any tree té of such a nature or in such a condition that it endangers or is likely to endanger life, health or property, the owner may be given 21 days to execute necessary works to obviate the danger. In default, the Council may carry out the work and recover the *cost as a ci'il debt. This letter produced no effective respoxsee

The Porestry Officer recently visited the other resident and has made a formal report, just received, the gist of which is that there are six trees, five of which conlete1y overhang a cottage on the opposite side of the road, that they are large, over—mature, trees with very hewvy limbs in the crown, are in a very moribund condition as a result of dutch elm disease, are far too big to be aatyi.here near a house and that there is a grave risk that one of these large heav limbs will be thied in a high wind and any one of these limbs could crash the house • The Porestry Officer recommends that tthe whole of the crown is removed from each tree so that just the main boles remain standing0

The chief owner was advised of this latest report and, in response, has said

a that he wants the trees felled before the winter. b that the cost is somewhat prohibitive and, c that at least two of the trees are on land which is leased to another party. Therefore, the operation is fraught with difficulties for him.

The cost is likely to be between £800 and £9OO" I I %

I Development Services Committee

EECOMMBNDED (i) That a Notice under Section 58 of the Essex County Council Act 1952 be served on the &wners of the elm trees at The Chase, Pagleshsm, requiring them to carry out the works recommended by the County Estates Officer and Valuer within 21 days.

(2) That in the event of non—compliance with the said Notice, the Director of Technical Services be authorised to seek estimates; execute the specified works and the Director of Administration be authorised to recover, as a civil debt, the costs so incurred0 (10265)

RAYLEIGE SHOPPING MAEKT CLUB (Ninu55Q/75l

733 The ]ltrector of Administration reported that a copy of a letter from the Promoter, saying that the Market would not be re—opened, had been forwarded to the Department of the :Hbvironment, who accepted it as withdrawing the appbal lodged0 The Enforcement NOtice was now effective0 (7992)

273L751

734. The Director of Administration reported thS the Secretary of State had. declined to confirm the Purchase Notice, being of the opinion that the building was capable of reasonable beneficial use as a light industrial building for any purpose. There was an appeal procedure and, in case the server did appeal, arrangements had been made for the Council to be represented. Resolved that the Assistant Director (Administration) be congratulated on his effective work in this matter. (5 & PF)

D.T.S. Refuse Permission for the following reasons:—

l The proposed change of use of the ground floor garage I would remove the garaging provision for the residential unit on the first floor of the premises.

2. The site lacks adequate car parking facilities within its aurtilage to serve the premises.

3, The extension and intensification of the use would be likely to attract additional motor vehicles which would have to park on the forecourt and greensward in front of the site since there is no oiher provision for the parking of customers oars. Such parking wquld be detri- mental to the amenities of the occupiers of adjacent dwell- ings by reason of noise and general disturbance and the additional traffic movements to and from the site could hinder the free and sale flow of vehicles negotiating the junction 'of Barling Road, Southend Road and Wakering Road. :A Similar application, Ref.

NOTES: (a) Foflowing upon the recommendation of the Bramerton Road, Hockley, Development Panel that appproval in principle of this layout be agreed, I have discussed matters of detail with the applicants and. the following have been resolved:— (i) the house shown on Plot No, 5 has been repositioned away from the boundary of 68 Main Road, Hockley,

(ii) additional screening has been provIded to safeguard privacy at Nose 6e & GSa Main Road, HockleyQ (iii) ve1ticuz access to Betts Wood is shown by dotted line on the layout, the applicants have given a written undertaking that they will provide the access whatever form of approved layout may finally be exoercised,

(iv) the sizes of rear gardens have been checked all now conform to at least the minimum of 100 square metres, (v) the applicants have given a written undertaking that they will not take any action ielating to Betts Farmhouse until the question of its preservation has been decided, (b) In regard to Betts Fdnhouse, the County Planner has under- taken an inspection and he reports as follows:—

'!Eistorical Notes" A two storey timber framed and weatberboarded. house, with early 19thcentuiy red brick facade, and red plain tile roof0 Dating from the third quarter of the 17th century, it con- sists of two equal bays acid central chimney bay0 (Eden plan type 1, but with staircase adjacent to chimney stack),

The frame is virtual2y complete and. includes stop chamfered beams and moulded storay posts0 The chimney stack is original0 The staircase is an early 19th centtpy replacement, but in the original position. Two attic rooms are now reached by this staircase, :Basic plan is little altered0 Three windows range double hung vertical sliding sashes with glazing bases0 Small pedimthited door case. Generally a good example of this form of late l7tk century small house. 2ondi,g The building is basically sound and is capable of being repaired and modernisecL The following are the principal repairs necessary0 Roof: Strip tiles, refelt and batten and retile,

s: Strip off boarding at sides and rear, re- pair studs, reboard with insulation in- corporated. The East gable wall needs rebuilding. The brick front is sound needing only some repoj4iting0 725 .

Floors: Nt-w boarding in places to upper floors0 Ground floor strip out and insert new (solid) floor0

Windows; Take out and ease, remake one or two0 Ceils New ceilings ho about half the areas., sg Open up stacks insidee Repoint ertein— aU y Inernal Wall faces: A proportion need replastering.,

The side addition must be rebuilt as a new bath- room, the kitchen has to be re-equipped and a new water heating system installedQ Summaxv No detailed costing has been made for these works, but, it is clear that with an expenditure in the order of tG,OOO the building can be made properly habitable with all modern facilities0 If a detailed cost is required, it would be possible to obtain one through the County Architect0 On the basis of the his tory of the building the County Planner advises that a Building Preservation Notce would be justified. I agree and recommend that a 3uildilDg Presenation Notios be sewed0 The retention of the building would involve some changes in layout but, subject to detailed surrey, these would probably not be very far reaching0
