The Committee considered the report of the Director of Development on the above consultation regarding an application by Southend United Football Club for proposed extensions to the clubhouse at their Sports Ground at 0 Eastern Avenue to provide a 120 bedroom hotel, licensed restaurant, additional changing and entertainment facilities, permanent cover to tennis courts, indoor swimming pool and additional parking facilities and vehicular access
Members noted the location of the site which had previously provided facilities for staff of Access and the different emphasis in its use since the recent change of ownership They were shown a plan of the proposed frontage and in view of the sensitivity of the location and the Local Plan notation the Committee concurred with the suggestion of a Member that the response should be strengthened
Resolved That Southend Borough Council be informed.-
(i) That this Council strongly opposes the proposed hotel and restaurant development which are contrary to the Lxal Plan allocation of the site as a Private Open Space/Sports Facility, would be unrelated to the existing main use of the site as an outdoor sports training ground and which would introduce a commercial element alien in character to this locality which comprises mainly open uses Furthermore, they would impact on the Green Belt to the north and lead to the erosion of the vulnerable gap between Rochford and Southend.
(ii) That the Council does not object to the provision of a swimming pool and covered tennis courts per se, but considers the tennis court covering to be unacceptable as it would be visually dominant, being too close to Eastern Avenue in front of the established pattern of development.
(iii) That should the Borough Council be minded to approve the development as currently proposed in its entirety, this Council considers that it should be dealt with as a departure from the Adopted Local Plan
(1-J) That concern is felt about the changing nature of the use of the sports and social club building on this site, particularly the night club and public house uses, which are considered to be totally incon- sistent with the Local Plan allocation and the character of the area. The Borough Council is therefore requested to explore whether these activities fall within the authorised use of the site and if not to take action accordingly. Plannim Services l C-J)That the scale of the development extending the entire site frontage is inappropriate and unacceptable given the Local Plan notation as Private Open Space/Sports Facility and out of character with the location generally to the north of the Eastern Avenue (DD)

2 6 The COUNTY SURVEYOR leaves the matter to the dtscretton of the Local Planmng Author@. but parkmg and servrcmg arrangements are consrdered adequate wrth a hmrted amount of double parkmg for the current use of the buddmg
2 7 The CHIEF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OFFICER has no adverse comments 2 8 Pohcy EB2 states first para “Withm those areas allocated prim&y for industrial purposes only l those apphcat~ons for development wnhm Classes Bl (Business) B2 (General Induatrml) and B8 (Storage or Distribution) of the Use Classes Order 1987 ~111normally be. permitted ” The present proposal to retam the retail use element of the apphcants busmess therefore does not fall squarely wnhm thus policy
2 9 Notwmtstandrog the pohcy context, rt must be acknowledged that there are many mdustrtal uses with ancdlary retad sales on mdustnal estates or retail or letsure uses throughout the District and m proxmury to the application site The applicant draws attention to some of the foregomg, together with other non-mdustrtal uses wtthin the Brook Road mdustrial estate, as lustrficattan of his proposal, e g Raylergh Indoor Go-Kartmg Centre.
2 10 Where such a retail use 1s ordmanly mctdental to the primary mdustrral use, Plannmg Permission 1s not requtred, e g mctdental counter sales of goods manufactured on the prermses However, the case m pomt as a matter of fact and degree is considered to amount to a change m use reqmrmg Planning Permtsston The apphcants also state that the mut 1s not vtable without the retad element due to rents filed at the peak of the commercial boom, around 1990 The apphcants advise they would not be able to open alternattve premrses (e g at Rayleigh) and consider thts retail element IS critical to the snrvtval of the busmess as a whole l 2 11 Notwnhstandmg the apphcants’ subnussions the development should also be considered wtthm the context of pohcy and recent thmkmg endorsed m Government advtce, as set out within PPG 13 Transport and PPG 6 Town Centre & Retail Development (revised draft) on the effects of out-of- centre development, espectally on market towns PPG 13 in parttcular stresses the concept of “sustainable development” and the need to discourage the use of the pnvate car
2 12 Whether the present apphcatton is in itself sigmficant m respect of the foregomg 1s arguable, although one mcremental step can lead to another (precedent)
2 13 The revised thmkmg of Government m the draft revised PPG 6 certamly suggests a more robust stance can be taken on out-of-centre and out-of-town retadmg where Its mrphcations are unacceptable On the other band, this is only draft Gu&nce and there are, of course, already m existence extensive retad uses outstde of tradmonal town and netghlmurhocd centres, both wnhm and adjommg the Drstrtct Overall, resrstfflg thus apphcatron IS margmal, dcsptte the fact the revised draft PPG 6 assists such a dectsion The use does also create employment wtthm the applicants busmess Recommendation l 2 14 The Dnector of Development recommends very much on balance that thts apphcation should be refused for the followmg reasons
01 NON STANDARD REFUSAL The site is Iocated in an area allocated as ‘existmg industrial’ withm the Rochford Distract Local Plan First Review 1995 and ts SubJect, inter aha, to Pohcy EBB2whtch states
‘Withm those areas allocated primarily for industrial purposes as depicted on the proposals map, apphcattons for development withm classes Bl (Busmess), B2 (General Industrtal) and B8 (Storage or distrtbutton) of the Use Classes Order 1987 will normally be permttted
Within those areas allocated prunarily for busmess purposes, only those applications for development within Classes Bl (business) and B8 (storage or distributton) of the Use Classes Order 1987 wdl normally be pernutted ’
l PAGE 4 The proposed Al retad use IS contrary to this pobcy as It does not fall wthm these general prows~ons or spwfkl use classes and wdl produce an unacceptable loss of mdustnal floorspace to the detnment of potential utdustnal employment It IS also ahen to the primary use of the area and sets a precedent which, d repeated, would mcrementally challenge the areas allocated for shoppmg purposes m the District

4 11 The apphcants’ agent argues that the pmposed external locatron 1s the most logrcal srtmg for the hft facrhty as It would be at¢ to the extstmg entrance lobby and close to the existmg starrcase. Furthermore, such a location would mean that the exrstmg first floor bedrooms will not l be affected by the works and more crrhcally won’t be lost
4 12 Whrlst the provtston of an external hft facdrty creates an addtttonal modest two storey extension to the nursmg home It IS felt that the proposed extensron IS acceptable, m this mstance, grven that -

9 3 All telecommumcattons operators are rqmred, as a cot&ton of then license, to provtde complete nattonal coverage Thts sate falls wtthm the Rochford/Hawkwell techmcal ‘cell centre’ that, as yet, does not have adequate coverage
Relevant Planmna Htstory
9 4 Whtlst there is no relevant plamnng htstory specdically relatmg to the proposed slung, Members may recall plannmg apphcatton ref F/0179/95/ROC for a 17 5m hrgh mast submitted by Vodafone Ltd that was recently refused plannmg permtsston The sue, at Rochford Statton, ts wtthm the Rochford Town Centre Conservatton Area, and IS currently awattmg the outcome of an appeal to the Department of the Envtronment Thts 1s relevant bv vutue of the fact that tt falls wtthm the Rochford ‘cell centre’
9 5 Also of posstble relevance ts planmng pemusston ref F10474192iROC. a 22 5m htgh mast at Rouncefall, The Chase, Ashmgdon Thts apphcatron was submttted by Mercury Personal Commumcattons Ltd and has now been fully tmplementcd The appltcant has been asked to constder mast sharmg at thus sate m preference to thts proposal and the response ts awaned
Consultattons and Reuresentattons
9 6 To date three letters of representatton have been recetved from RESIDENTS one of these ts a Westchff address Two object to the apphcatton and comment as follows vtsually mtrustve wtthm a relattvely uuspoth area, and the mast wtll cause mterference to radto and televtston receptton One letter of support has been recetved from the landowner, A W Squter Ltd, commentmg that the proposed mast will not conflmt wtth the farmmg operattons at the sate and wdl be screened by extstmg trees
9 7 The COUNTY SURVEYOR considers the apphcatton to be ‘de-mimmts m highway safety terms 9 8 The ROCHFORD HUNDRED WNITIEX SOCIETIES express concern ahut the effect on the visual amen@ of the locahty l 9 9 The CIVIL AVIATION AUTFIORITY raise no objectmm
9 10 The LONDON GREEN BELT COUNCIL accepts the reqmrement for these masts and hopes that the Councd will make every effort to ensure mmirmsatlon of visual unpact and pomt out that the site falls wtthm the Roach Valley Conservation Zone It Should be noted that, at the time of wntmg, the statutory consult&on permd has yet to expire and any representatlons received prior to the meeting wdl be reported verbally to the Commmee
Sumrnarv of Planmna Conslderauons
9 11 The plannmg considerations marerral to this apphcation are as follows
a) Local Plan Pohcy, b) technical requirements, and c) visua.l amemty
9 12 Local plan Policg The proposed telecommunications mast is subject to the provlslons of Pohcy PIJ6 of the Rochford Dlstrlcr Local Plan Fusr Review, ‘Satelltte Receiving Eqmpment’, that reqmres, Inter alla, that there b-e an avo&nce of unnecessary duplication of antennae and there be l a rmrurmsatlon of unslghthness or mtrusion, especially m areas designated for the landscape or conservation sgn~fimce. The ate also falls w&n the Metropohtan Green Belt and the Roach Valley Conservation Zone and will be subject to Pohc~ GBl and RC5 Pohcy GBl relates to the presumption agamst mappropnate development m the Green Belt and RC5 reqmres that development w~thm the nature conservatton zones that 1s prejudlclal to the retention and management of unportant wddlife habIt& and their mterrelationslnps ~11 not normally be perrnltted
9 13 A refusal on Green Belt Grounds alone IS unhkely to be supported on appeal and the proposal wdl not be prejudicial to important wddhfe habltats.
9 14 Technical Requirements Telecommurucat~ons Code Systems Operators licensed under the Telecommurnca~ions Act 1984 have a legal obhgatlon to provide a comprehenslve national coverage m response to customer reqmrements of serv,ce and quahty The system 1s demand-led and Inadequate coverage can lead to the sanction of hcense withdrawal The guidance m Planmng pohcy Gmdance Note 8 (PPG8) spec~tically identifies thus reqmrement as a material planmng conslderatlon and emphasises that such techmcal considerations as network coverage be taken mto account when determmmg telecommumcat~ons apphcatlons l 9 15 Visual Amenity fis sate 1s reasonably well isolated from resldentlal propertIes and whilst bemg wlthrn a nature conservatron area, the vtsual ameruty of the open countrysIde hereabouts is already effected by existmg utllltanan structures (electr~aty pylons) and the proposed mast will, to a certam extent, be screened by exlstmg mature trees and agricultural bmldmgs It 1s inevitable that the mast will have an mtruslve skyhmng effect, however, when set agamst exlstmg structures the vnpact ~111 be nunmused
9 16 It must be noted that the refusal of plannmg permlsslon for a much smaller mast a Rochford RaIlway Station was sited wlthm both the Rochford Town Centre Conservation Area and the settmg of mlportant hsted bmldiigs The visual arguments to Just@ the refusal of permlsslon on this site would be less cogent and It IS mevltable that the Department of the Envmonment would consider srtmg a mast somewhere w&m the techrucal ‘cell centre’ If Rouncefall site IS not adequate Members are also remmded of the refusal of plannmg permlsslon followmg a Member site vlslt at Nme Acres Farm, Flemmgs Farm Road The refusal on grounds of Impact m a sensltlve locatIon m the Roach Valley Nature Conservatton Zone, Specjal Landscape Area and Green Belt was found wantmg when pemusslon was subsequently granted on appeal This location IS clearly not as sensltlve as that site l N’ 551 PAGE 23 9 17 Once the Issue of mast sharmg at Rouncefall IS resolved, tf thus does not prove feasible then It 1s considered that this site IS an acceptable lowon given that this wdl effectively represent a l ‘mmumsat~on of visual mtruslon

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT
PARISH STREW LIGHTING (Minute 364/951
The Director of Development reports that following the allocation at the last Transportation Committee of the sun of f15.000 for lighting schemes determined by the Parishes, all Parish Councils were invited to identify needy areas Five have replied and a response is also anticipated from Hullbridge Parish Council which will be reported verbally
Having taken into account the discussion at the last Committee Meeting the Director of Development would propose the following order of priority -
Amroximate Cost
1. Junction of Madrid Avenue and Rawreth Lane f1,OOO (Rawreth Parish Council)
This is a rural situation and a small newly formed Parish Council with limited funds.
2. Church Road (Ram&h Parish Council) fl,OOO
This is a rural situation and a small newly formed Parish Council with limited funds
3 Old London Road (Rawreth Parish Council) f1,500
This is a rural situation and a small newly formed Parish Council with limited funds
4. "Run Corner" Little Wakering, (BarlLng ParLsh f1,500 Council)
This is a rural situation and a small Parish Council with limited funds
5 Footpath at Greensward Lane to Orchard f10.000 AVenUe (Hockley Parish Council)
This footpath is well-used by many school children
6 Cheltenham Road area (Ashingdon Parish Council) f3.000

7. Pedestrian walkways (Great Wakering Parish Council) Survey needed
8 Star tine to Poynters hne (Great Wakering Parish Council) New footpath planned. It is anticipated that the first five schemes proposed will be completed this year, however, the electrical supply costs may vary from the estimated figures considerably. These schemes will be carrfed out by l Rochford District Council, subject to the approval of the Highways Authority (Essex County Council) who would be requested to adopt the lighting on completion. Where the County are unable to adopt the new lighting, the responsibility for electricity and maintenance costs would be passed to the Parish Council
RECOHHEXDED That the priority for Parish lighting schemes be approved as set out above (933) (DD)
