Plots 1-5 are complete and a number of other plots are under construction. 1.2 Since the start of construction the developer has identified a number of changes they wish to make to the scheme. Given the number of changes it is appropriate to make a full planning application for the entire development so the changes can be considered in totality. The changes proposed comprise: A) Plot 1-4 altered internal layouts; B) Plots 7 & 8 altered internal layouts; C) Plots 9-16 altered ground floor layout including windows and doors; D) Plots 17-21 altered ground floor layout including windows and doors and first floor windows amended; E) Plot 24 altered ground floor and F) Change to windows and increase in depth of gardens on plots 6 -17 inclusive. 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 2.1 The application relates to a site located on the eastern side of Baker Street (B188), at the southern end of a ‘ribbon’ of development along this side of the road. To the south of the site is the elevated A13. To the north there are three bungalows and beyond these an equestrian centre. On the opposite side of the road behind a belt of planting is open land used for grazing. To the rear is open land. 2.2 The site extends to some 0.7 hectares. The front part was previously used for car sales by the ‘Baker Street Garage’. The rear part of the site was previously been used by a vehicle recovery business known as D & G recovery. 3.0 RELEVANT HISTORY 3.1 10/00675/FUL: Redevelopment of site for residential purposes, comprising 24 dwellings with associated garages and landscaping and new access onto Baker Street: Approved 10.02.2011. 4.0 CONSULTATIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS PUBLICITY: 4.1 The application has been advertised by way of individual neighbour letters. A public site notice has been displayed and a notice placed in the local newspaper. Planning Committee 17.01.2013 Application Reference: 12/00952/FUL Three letters have been received from members of the public and the comments made are summarised below: - The level of car parking provision would not be sufficient for the number of units; - Impact of the properties on the privacy and amenity of neighbours; - Additional windows have been added to some of the dwellings that were not on the original plan; - Obscure glazing has not been installed as on the original plan; - Noise and disruption has been, and will be created during building works; HIGHWAYS: 4.2 No objections. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH: 4.3 No objections. 5.0 POLICY CONTEXT PMD1 - Minimising Pollution and Impacts on Amenity PMD2 - Design and Layout PMD6 - Development in the Green Belt PMD8 - Parking Standards PMD9 - Road Network Hierarchy PMD16 - Developer Contributions National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) 6.0 ASSESSMENT 6.1 The principal issues to be considered in this case are: 1. Plan designation and principle of development. 2. Proposed changes from approved scheme. 3. Residential impacts. 4. Access and parking. 5. Infrastructure improvements (s.106 contribution) and Affordable Housing. 1. PLAN DESIGNATION AND PRINCIPLE OF DEVELOPMENT 6.2 The site is located in the Metropolitan Green Belt where strict controls exist over development, including the change of use of land. The principle of the redevelopment of the former garage site for 24 residential dwellings has been established by the approval of planning application 10/00675/FUL in 2011. The plans submitted in this application are identical to those previously approved save for the changes identified above and assessed below. 2. PROPOSED CHANGES FROM APPROVED SCHEME 6.3 A) Plot 1-4 (altered internal layouts) Planning Committee 17.01.2013 Application Reference: 12/00952/FUL These plots have been completed and some are already occupied. The changes relate to internal divisions which are not considered to be significant and are acceptable in terms of design and amenity. 6.4 B) Plots 7 & 8 (altered internal layout) These plots are currently under construction. The changes, which relate to the internal layout of the dwellings are not significant and are acceptable in terms of design and amenity. 6.5 C) Plots 9-16 (altered ground floor layout including and windows and doors) Some of these plots are currently under construction. The changes, which relate to minor alterations to the ground floor layout and amended positions of windows and doors, are not considered significant. The changes are considered to be acceptable in terms of design and amenity and would not unduly affect nearby residents. 6.6 D) Plots 17-21 (altered ground floor layout including windows and doors and first floor windows amended) Some of these plots are currently under construction. Plot 20 is closest to existing residential properties and the impacts of these changes upon neighbour amenity are considered below. The changes to the external appearance of the dwellings are considered to be acceptable in terms of design. 6.7 E) Plot 24 (altered ground floor and change to windows) Plot 24 has yet to be constructed. The changes to the windows are not considered to be significant and are acceptable in terms of design and amenity. 6.8 F) Plots 6 -17 inclusive (Increase in depth of gardens) The applicant seeks to enlarge the site beyond the boundaries of the previously developed garage site. The dwellings would remain in the same location as that approved under planning application 10/00675/FUL however the rear gardens would be increased. The extent of the increase of land would be 2.6m along the southern and eastern boundaries. The additional area of land falls outside of the previously developed garage site and would therefore be on land which is part of the Green Belt. 6.9 The extension of domestic gardens into the Green Belt is not normally considered to be acceptable as the increased areas of garden usually lead to further domestication of the Green Belt which is harmful to the principle of including land in the Green Belt and also the character and openness of the Green Belt. Therefore, this element of the proposal represents inappropriate development within the Green Belt. In accordance with the guidance within the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Policy PMD6, consideration needs to be given to whether the harm caused by the development is clearly outweighed by other material considerations, so as to amount to Very Special Circumstances necessary justify the development. Planning Committee 17.01.2013 Application Reference: 12/00952/FUL 6.10 The applicant has put forward the following reasons that they consider to be the Very Special Circumstances that would warrant a departure from policy being made. i) The area of land is limited, being 2.5m along the rear of the site, and varying between 2m up to a maximum of 6m along the return to the A13 flyover. No development could take place in this area.

  • A13 Road Widening (Stanford-Le-Hope Bypass)
    A13 Road Widening (Stanford-le-Hope Bypass) The A13 connects central London with the southeast coast of Essex via Thurrock. Whilst designated a local road, it is a critical arterial route in the east of England, and a vital part of the UK’s national road network. A13 Widening (Stanford-le-Hope Bypass) The road is currently a two-lane dual-carriageway between its junctions with the A128 and A1014. Increasing its capacity will increase its potential to accommodate growth, supporting long-term local investment and national productivity. What is planned? Plans are underway to widen the A13 Stanford-le-Hope Bypass from two to three lanes in both directions, from the junction with the A128 (Orsett Cock roundabout) in the west and the A1014 (The Manorway) to the east. This widened section of road will tie-in with the existing three-lane section of the A13 to the west of the junction with A128. It will also link with work already carried out at the junction with the A1014. Works will begin once £80million of committed government funding is secured. A further £10million will be provided by DP World London Gateway. What will happen? Construction work will involve the demolition and re-building of four bridges across the widened road. The new bridges will be built next to where the current ones stand, allowing traffic to flow normally for as long as possible. The junction at the Orsett Cock roundabout would be rebuilt to tie in with the new bridge locations. Other road widening plans include: • widening the central reservation and verges for better visibility on bends • relocation of noise barriers • new embankments • new safety fencing • new drainage and flood control • new road lighting • public utility diversions • new landscaping There will be no demolition of properties next to the A13.

  • Transfer of Eastern National Grays Area Services to London Transport
    TRANSFER OF EASTERN NATIONAL GRAYS AREA SERVICES TO LONDON TRANSPORT 1933-1951 By Alan Osborne THE EASTERN NATIONAL ENTHUSIASTS GROUP TRANSFER OF EASTERN NATIONAL GRAYS AREA SERVICES TO LONOON TRANSPORT 1933 • 1951 By Alan Osborne The Eastern National Enthusiasts Group 1980 INTRODUCTION This book replaces our fo:rmer Publication E.P.14 and is in essence a complete history of bus services in the Grays area from the early days until 1952. Some notes on the 1979 exchange have also been included to finish the story. This is the first major production by the Eastern National Enthusiasts Group following the re-organisation and expansion of the committee institu.ted in 1979. The present author then assumed his new role as Cba.irma.n & Founder, with a lesser administrative workload, which allowed more time to be devoted to historical research for publications such as the present study. Area route maps have been included, but since the central areas of Grays and Tilbury appear ver:y small, enlarged street plans (as at 1951/2) of the two towns, with the streets, timing points and terminals referred to in the tex.t all located, are appended. on page 39. Many friends and colleagues have offered assistance and I am especially grateful to Frank Simpson, Nick Agnew, John Smith, Bob Palmer and Martin Weyell for helpful discussions and loan of material. Much information was also gleaned from material in the Omnibus Society library through the kind auspices of Brian Walter. Special tribute must also be made to Bob Beaumont of F.astern National for providing.

  • Bulphan Village Community Forum Update Report in Lieu of Meeting 14Th May 2020 Attendance at Our Last Open Meeting Was Down
    Giving the village a voice ​ Bulphan Village Community Forum update report in lieu of meeting 14th May 2020 Attendance at our last Open Meeting was down, due in part to Coronavirus restrictions, and the meeting planned for 14th May 2020 cannot take place as meetings are not allowed, and the hall is closed. To try to keep everyone informed, here is an update, with contributions from the usual suspects. Matters arising and chair’s update: Janet McCheyne Because of the current situation, there has been limited progress on matters arising from the last meeting. However, I can report that a project to drain the playing field has been added to the Infrastructure Requirement List, and that resurfacing of the hall car park was already on that list. These projects are funded from S106 contributions made by developers building properties in Bulphan. Bulphan had entered the Essex Village of the Year Competition and the Best Kept Churchyard competition, but both were cancelled due to COVID-19. In response to the restrictions in place, Kelly Fiford and I set up a “Viral Kindness” scheme. We recruited 15 volunteers, who delivered an average of 30 cards each to designated homes. The cards had the volunteer’s name, contact details and details of what support they could offer. On the reverse were various helpful ‘phone numbers and local services, and contact numbers for Kelly and myself. The volunteers were given guidelines, to protect themselves and the residents they are helping, and they have been delivering shopping, prescriptions and medication and providing a friendly ‘phone call.
