Para. 6 y/0329/9l/ROC

NOTE: Councillor R.A. Pearson declared a non-pecuniary interest by virtue of being a Governor of St. Teresa's School but remained in the Meeting and1 participated in the discussion and voting thereon. r I Application refused for the following reasons -

1. The proposal taken together with the nearby large residential estate currently under construction amounts to an over-development of the area eroding the amenities and character of the area

2, The local planning authority consider the open nature of the site as part of the school and church grounds mkes a yaluable contribution to the character and visual amenity of the area and that the site should be

I 001 1191 I L Planning Services Committee retained in its current form to be enjoyed as an open amenity area and to provide an over-spill area for car parking etc. for the school and church,

3. There would be the potential of access through the site to the adjoining school which if used would lead to additional vehicular and pedestrian activity in existing and proposed roads and congestion therein to the detriment of the amenities of the occupiers thereof.

Consideration of this application was deferred to enable further clarification to be sought.

Authority delegated to the Director of Development to approve including departure procedures if necessary subject to a Legal Agreement requiring the four replacement dwellings to be occupied first after their construction by the residents of the four existing dwellings on the alignment with the proposed new route of the Al30 (Option SE), such permission not to be effective until such time a's those four existing dwellings have been acquired by the County Council

Para. 11 - F/05O2/91/ROC

Application refused for the following reason. -

Std. Cond, RFR 9 - Green Belt

Para 12 - F/OSO9/91/ROC

Application refused for the following reason -

The Rochford District Local Plan shows the site to be within the Metropolitan Green Belt and the proposal is considered to be contrary to Policy GM of the Local Plan and to Policy 59 of the Essex Structure Plan. Within the Green Belt, as defined in these policies, planning permission will not be given, except in very special circumstances, for the construction of new buildings or for changes of use or extension of existing buildings (other than reasonable extensions as defined in Policies GB2 and GB6), or for purposes, other than agriculture, mineral extraction or forestry, small-scale facilities for outdoor participatory sports and recreation, institutions in large grounds, cemeteries or similar uses which are open in character. Any development which is permitted shall be of a scale, design and siting that the appearance of the countryside is not impaired In November 1990 amendments to these policies were agreed by the local planning authority as part of the First Review of theLoirnl'P1an. As a consequence Policy GEG has been re- numbered as Policy GB7.

The proposal for development of this site does not fall into any of the above categories and it is the opinion of the local planning authority that no evidence has been presented sufficient to justify overriding the strong presumptions against the change of use applied for The permanent stationing of a caravan on this site would appear as an incongruous feature in this ruraL area to the detriment of its character.

I I ______flanning_$ervices Committee . Furthermore, if permitted, the authority will find it difficult to resist a permanent residential use of the caravan and ultimately a permanent dwelling on the site This would create a precedent leading to the coalescence of the settlements of Ashingdon, South Fambridge and Hockley contrary to the objectives of the above policy.

Resolved that the Solicitor be authorised to take all necessary action including the service of Notices and action in the Courts to secure the remedying of the breach of planning control now reported. (SOL)

Para. 19 - FZP352L91JROC

In delegating authority to the Director of Development to approve this application, the Committee asked that provision be made for the house and buildings not to be divorced from the business on the application site, for sales and refreshments to be generally ancillary to the main uses of the site and for the hours of such sales to be conditioned, for floodlighting to be controlled so as to avoid interference to passing motorists and for the removal of the mobile home to be required on completion of the development.

442. URGENT REPORTS

Pursuant to Standing Order 26 2 the Chairman admitted the following items as urgent for the reasons shown:-

(i) The Old Pumping Station. Fambridge Road. Ashingdon - Change of Use from a Former Pumping Station to a Class El Use (CTJJ0483/91/ROC)

The Committee were advised that this application had been referred from Weekly List No 77 by Councillor B.A. Crick who was concerned about the site's unsuitability on the basis of which it was

Resolyed that the application be refused for the following reasons -

The Rochford District Local Plan shows the site to be within the Metropolitan Creen Belt and the proposal is considered to be contrary to Policy GEl of the Local Plan and to Policy 89 of the Essex Structure Plan, Within the Green Belt, as defined in these policies, planning permission will not be given, except in very special circumstances, for the construction of new buildings or for changes of use or extension of existing buildings (otherthan reasonable extensions as defined in Policies GB2 and GB6), or for purposes, other than agriculture, mineral extraction or forestry, small-scale facilities for outdoor participatory sports and recreation, institutions in large grounds, cemeteries or similar uses which are open in character. Any development which is permitted shall be of a scale, design and siting that the appearance of 'the countrysidb is not' ibtpaired In November 1990 ardendments to these policies were agreed by the Local Planning Authority as part of the first review of the Local Plan. As a consequence Policy GB6 has been re- numbered as Policy GB7.

The proposal for development of this site does not fall into any of the above categories and it is the opinion of the local planning authority that no evidence has been presented sufficient to justify overriding th strong presumptions against' the change of use ap1ied for Furthermo,re the site is isolated and exposed in open countryside and the use, if permitted, would inevitably lead to ancillary and associated activities III 0 (Jj ' I Planning Services Committee

- car parking, traffic generation, outside storage etc., all of which would impair the appearance of the countryside.

The proposed development, if permitted, would create an undesirable precedent for further similar proposals within the open countryside of the Rochford District contrary to the Metropolitan Green Belt policies for the control of development.

(ii) Walkers Farm, Barlig_Road. Barling

The Director of Development reported that because this Grade II Listed Building had recently been severely damaged by fire the developer had asked for an urgent indication of his position. Having considered all of the aspects involved the Committee were sympathetic to enabling the project to be completed and it was I

Resolved that the Director of Development be authorised to decide planning and listed building applications in the event of their submission. (DO)

443. PROTECTION OF 1IEDGEROWS - GOVERNMENT PROPOSALS

The Director of Development reported that the ADC were seeking comments on Government proposals for the protectiOn of hedgerows which had been circulated separately to Members. It was recalled that the Development Services Committee. had welcomed the Consultation Paper issued by the Department of the Environment at the beginning of the year.

The Committee noted how the new proposals represented an improvement on original scheme and it was

Resolved that the Council support the newly announced proposals for the protection of hedgerows (1531) (DO)

ROCHFORD DISTRICT COUNCIL

PLANNING SERVICES COMMITTEE - 5TH SEPTEMBER 1991

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT

PLANNING APPEALS - ANALYSIS OF DECISIONS RECEIVED DURING THE FIRST AND SECOND QUARTERS OF 1991. JANUARY TO MARCH AND APRIL TO JUNE

N.B. Brief details of all Decisions are listed in the Appendix to this Report.

FIRST OUARTER 1991 - JANUARY TO MARCH

The number of decisions received during this quarter was as follows!: -

Dismissed Allowed Total

Planning Applications 21(78%) 6(22%) 27

Enforcement Notices 4(80%) 1(20%) 5 25(79%) 7(21%) 32

Of the Appeals that were allowed, the following give cause for comment or concern: -

No. 21/91 - Change of use from a Shop to a Restaurant at 238. High Street, Rayleigh

Although this Appeal was dealt with before the revised Policy SAT3 on shopping frontages was adopted, the proportion of shopping frontage in this area was already at about the minimum of 55%. The Inspector considered however, that since the shop had been vacant for over a year, further retail use was unlikely and it was desirable that it should be occupied again as soon as possible.

No, 11/91 - -Continue use of Farm Shops Burtons Farm. Barling Road, Barling

Again this Appeal was dealt with before the Council had a Policy for the use of redundant farm buildings, apart from those that were listed, It is of concern however that the Inspector should permit a retail use in an isolated location in the Green Belt since it was agreed by all parties that the goods being sold were not produced on the farm and it was not therefore a farm shop in the generally understood sense. The Inspector considered that the size of shop and ancillary space suggested that the associated level of additional activity would not seriously harm the rural character oJ? the area and felt that her decision was in line with national I I guidance.

H !" o'oio 3L SECOND OUARTER 1991 - APRIL TO JUNE

The number of Decisions received during this quarter was as follows -

Dismjsed Aflswed Total

Planning Applications 7(50%) 7(50%) 14

Enforcement Notices 2(67%I l(33%1 9(53%) 8(47%

Of the Appeals that were allowed in this quarter, the following give cause for comment or concern:-

No. 42/91 - Rebuild existing Walls under New Roof to form a Replacement Dwelling. Janina. Cavendish Road. Hockley

The allowing of this Appeal is of concern because it conflicts with one of the fundamental requirements of the Council's Policy for allowing rebuilds in the Green Belt i.e. that the existing dwelling should be authorised No planning permission exists for the construction of Janina or its use as a dwelling, although it is accepted that the building is immune from enforcement action under the "4 year rule". The Inspector considered that the Council was attaching undue weight to the fact that the dwelling was unauthorised and felt that the rebuilding proposals would improve the quality of the structure and make a positive contribution to the appearance of the area. The Inspector also felt that an adverse precedent would not be created by allowing the Appeal and that although the Council's concern about unauthorised development was understandable, it was within their capacity to keep their area regularly surveyed and to take enforcement action within the 4 year period when it as expedient to do so.

No. 41/91 - Golf Course. Walfords Farm. I-Iullbridge

Members will recall that the Officers' recommended approval of the applications in regard to restaurant opening hours and floodlighting. Both applications were refused by Committee and subsequently allowed on Appeal.

Conclusions

1 The success rate in terms of Appeals dismissed during the first quarter of 1990 at almost 80% was acceptable, but the just over 50% success rate in the second quarter is more worrying. However, the decisions in question related to ad-hoc cases and there was no underlying trend which might give cause for concern.

2. Although some decisions have been made against Council Policy, it is' not considered that there is any justification for reviewing any Policies.

RECOHNE!WliD That the report be noted. (DO)

REPORT:

This proposal was deferred from the last Planning Services Meeting as officers were advised on the day before committee that the main tenants occupying most

'ii PACE1 I 0011) of this site with a storage use were vacating the premises permanently. As part of the original recommendation this tenant was to have been included in the permission on a personal basis and subject to a. legal agreement along I with the much smaller second tenant because of the specifically unobtrusive nature of their activities taking place wholly within the confines of the buildings on the site and complying with all the specific requirements of policy 085 of the Rochford District Local Plan.

The description of the development has been changed to acknowledge these changed circumstances and seeks permission for Change of use to Bl,Personal permission for PROTUS CARS, and BE uses."

This application still seeks authorisation of the long term storage and light industrial use of this group of long redundant agricultural farm buildings now only occupied by a specialist two man firm Lotus car restoration firm. This firm does not engage in panel beating or paint spraying and only rebuilds vehicles by hand from bodyshells upwards

No complaints have been received from any neighbours as far as the current and previous occupants activities are concerned which have generated only sporadic service vehicle visits.

The applicant (owner of the site) in changing the description of the development ,has stated that they are unwilling to enter into a legal agreement,despite this and after further consideration following the changed circumstances it is felt that the classes of use for which planning permission is applied for can now be adequately controlled by a specific and detailed limiting condition to ensure that any occupants of these units only engage in activity that is not in conflict with the objectives of policy G35 of the RDLP.Specifically it would EXCLUDE retail sales distribution,open storage,and any type of use that would generate significant traffic movements either within and,' or to and from the isite.this will obviate the need to corsider the grant of any personal permissions.

One letter of representation received objecting to future unacceptable uses but not the current ones. No ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH objections are raised subject to limiting conditions regarding hours of use and modes of operation.

The COUNTY PLANNER raises no objection subject to a personal permission for the current uses. I

The RURAL DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION supports the application.

NOTES:

Permission was granted in September, 1987 (ROC/533/87) for the present light industrial building whilst an extension — similar in height and width although shorter than this present proposal — was permitted in June, 1988 (1100/234/88).

ANGLIAN WAflR - no objections in principle. Refer to various consents necessary under public health legislation (covered by an informative). HEAD OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES - reports that having regard to the location there is a potential for nuisance frornnosse, dust, and odour greater than exists at present. No objection subject to the imposition of Conditions 4 — 7 above. I

One letter of objection has been received from a NEIGHBOUR at the Bungalow/Barons Court Boarding Kennels, although it appears the neighbour is under the impression that the extension would be "right next to their bedroom and lounget'. In fact it will be some distance from the neighbour's property and further away than the existing building.

SINGLE STOREY FRONT EXTENSION TO FORM NEW GARAGE, TWO STOREY SIDE EXTENSION AND NEW RAISED ROOF OVER WHOLE PROPERTY WITH FRONT, SIDE AND REAR DORNERS TO FORM CHALET INCLUDING FIRST FLOOR REAR FRENCH DOORS WITH BALUSTRADE

NOTES:

Frontage: Sm; Depth: 43m maximum.

The Local Planning Authority have received nine letters of objection to the proposed development from RESIDENTS of Rookery Close. The principal reasons for objection are overdevelopment, scale and bulk, incompatibility with surroundings, loss of privacy and loss of trees. The COUNTY SURVEYOR'S response to the proposal is that it is de minimus.

REFUSE:

01 NON STANDARD REFUSAL The proposed development would result in part of the first floor wall of the two storey side extension being sited under lm from the plot boundary with 7, Rookery Close. This would result in a cramped form of development in the street scene and would impinge on the outlook and amenities enjoyed by the occupiers thereof. Such a siting would be contrary to the adopted design S policies of the Local Planning Authority contained in Policy H9 of the Rochford District Local Plan which states that side extensions shall be sited a minimum of lm from plot boundaries at first floor level to prevent the coalescence of adjacent properties. In November, 1990, amendments to this policy were agreed by the Local Planning Authority as part of the First Review of Local Plan. As a result of the review process, the policy will be included in the First Review Local Plan as Policy H9.

02 NON STANDARD REFUSAL The Local Planning Authority considers the proposed external building 'materials, in particular the type and colour of roof tiles 'to be used, are out of keeping with those of surrounding properties, creating an unduly prominent and obtrusive feature in the street scene detrimental to its character and amenity.

HOMEFIELD TRENDERS AVENUE RAYLEIGH

CHANGE OF USE TO CHILDREN'S PLAY SCHOOL

NOTESt

This proposal involves the use of an existing building in the garden of 'Homefields', previously used for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of 'Homefield', as a play school. The use is already in operation at the T.A Hall in Hullbridge Road, and it is proposed to relocate the use. In view of the location within the M.G.B. approached by an unmade road, the proposed use is considered inappropriate. ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL RIGEWAYS DEPARTMENT has recommended refusal for the reasons set out at 2 and 3 below.

REFUSE:

01 GREEN BELT - STANDARD REASON PLUS It is the opinion of the Local Planning Authority that to allow such a change of use in this location would be inappropriate and would adversely affect the character and amenities of this semi—rural area with consequential detriment to the objectives of the Green Belt.

02 NON STANDARD REFUSAL The proposal would lead to an increase in slowing and turning movements by vehicles at the existing junction of Trenders Avenue and Rawreth Lane and would therefore interfere with the free and safe flow of through traffic and result in danger and inconvenience to other road users.

03 NON STANDARD REFUSAL Trenders Avenue, by reason of its substandard carriageway, width, lack of footways and streetlights, is considered to be inadequate to serve a development of this type.

04 NON STANDARD REFUSAL To allow a proposal of this type would set an undesirable precedent, making it difficult to resist similar proposal elsewhere in the District, to the long term detriment of the green belt.

05 NON STANDARD CONDITION Details of foul and surface water drainage from the site shall be submitted to and approved by Anglian Water Services Limited before any work on the site commences. Furthermore, the bungalow hereby permitted shall not be occupied and used as a dwellinghouse before 1st January, 1992. S REPORT:

This is an existing vacant site on the south side of Greensward Lane, previously used as a corporation storage yard. The site is long and narrow being over 40m in breadth on its frontage to Greensward Lane and having a maximum depth of only iSm at its eastern end with narrows across the site. To either side of the site are residential dwellings, which are reasonably well isolated from the site, particularly to No. 66. To the rear are the long gardens of dwellings fronting Broadlands Road.

In 1989 outline planning permission was sought on the site for a scout ball and parking spaces. That application (ROC/416/89) was refused on the grounds that the site was considered inappropriate from a highway point of view and likely to result in considerable detriment to the area.

4! S I, PAGE 6 The current application, submitted by the County Council, is for a two bedroom bungalow with integral garage. The COUNTY SURVEYOR has raised no objections to this proposal subject to a number of conditions. The main issues in this case, therefore, are whether the proposed bungalow would be acceptable with respect to its relationship with neighbouring properties and whether the actual site could properly accommodate the bungalow, off-street car parking spaces and the necessary private amenity space. With respect to the former issue, the siting of the bungalow to the centre of the site provides reasonable isolation from No. 66 and 88, Greensward Lane. Although the bungalow's rear elevation would run close to the boundary with the rear gardens of properties fronting onto Broadlands Road, those properties are set back a considerable distance from the aforementioned boundary and therefore would not be unduly affected by the new dwelling. The retention of a number of trees on this boundary will help to maintain a satisfactory level of privacy both for the properties in Broadlands Road and the new' bungalow itself. I

One window is located in the south west elevation — serving the proposed bathroom — to prevent overlooking of properties in Broadlands Road it is suggested that this window be obscure glazed.

With regard to the layout of the site, it would seem that the positioning of a bungalow to the centre of the site would allow for sufficient car parking provision on the western side of the dwelling and a garden area (in excess of l3Osq.m.) to the east which would easily meet the standards of this Local Authority. The COUNTY SURVEYOR raises no objections to the proposal subject to a number of conditions imposed in the interests of highway safety. No NEIGHBOUR objections have been received with regard to the application. The Local Planning Authority's FORWARD PLANNING SECTION have no comments to make on the need to preserve specified tees on the site.

With reference to the comments made by the PARISH COUNCIL, it would seem that the County Surveyor is satisfied that the site could meet up with highway standards (in terms of safety) and as has previously been mentioned the garden area would comply with the Local Authority's standards.

ANGLIAM WATER have objected to the application on the grounds that the sewerage system in this area is up to design capacity and needs improvement before further development can be accommodated.

likely that Anglian Water will lift its embargo from 1st January, 1992 and as such it seems reasonable to approve the current proposal subject to the property not being occupied before this date.

REPORT:

Triangular shaped site situated to the east of the applicant's adjacent residential development which is at present under construction (Matchbox Site). The southern boundary of the site partly abuts the rear gardens of bungalows fronting Barbara Close. The land forms part of the St. Teresa's School site comprising a grassed area with some trees situated at the rear • of the existing church and school buildings. The school will retain its existing hardsurfaced playground and playing field.

The proposal is for the erection of' 16 two stoey 3—bed terraced houses with garages. A cul—de—sac access road is proposed which is an extension of the approved road within the adjacent housing estate.

Previously submitted duplicate applications for the erection of 17 houses on this site were withdrawn (F/OO22/91/ROC and F/O024/9l/ROC) and the present scheme seeks to overcome planning objections identified with these previous proposals and follows negotiations with the applicants. The application has also been anended to take into account comments raised by the County surveyor.

The relationship between the proposed development and the neighbouring properties (existing and proposed) is considered to be acceptable and the development will be in keeping with the character of the new housing to the west. The increased vehicular activity arising from the development will not be excessive and no direct access to the school is envisaged.

No planning objection is seen to! the redevelopment of part of this schocfl site for residential purposes.

The site is within the sewerage embargo area but ANGLIAN WATER raise no objections if the development is phased as agreed with the developers so as to ensure the total number of dwellings bailt prior to January 1992 will be as previously approved.

Any trees or hedgerows being removed without such consent or dying, being severely damaged or becoming seriously diseased shall be replaced with trees or hedgerows of such size and species as may be agreed with the Local Planning Authority.

REPORT:

Planning permission was granted for three stables, tack room and subsidiary attached sheds on 21st March, 1989 subject to a Legal Agreement to reinforce conditions. The present proposal will provide ancillary feed and covered hay storage space. The circumstances of the applicants and site have not changed since the previous permission. The current scheme will enable two untidy utilitarian buildings within the site to be removed and is recommended subject to a Legal Agreement. The BRITISH HORSE SOCIETY (B.HS) have no adverse comments on the construction of the extension but note that attaching a shed for storing straw to the stable block increases the fire hazard for the horses. They would normally recommend that the straw and hay should be kept in a building detached from the stable block. They suggest the fitting of fire and smoke alarms if the proposal is granted in its present form.

Though the concern of the B.H.S. is acknowledged via an informative, the existing scheme is thought to provide a better form of enclosure more visually appropriate to its rural setting than two separate buildings.

The HEAD OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES (ENGINEERS) has no observations and COUNTY HIGHWAYS leaves the matter to the discretion of the Local Planning Authority.

A LOCAL RESIDENT objects on the grounds of overdevelopment of the site and that the proposal is inconsistent with a previous decision (ROC/9l3/86) relating to the size of their own stable building on adjoining land.

They also allege non—compliance with conditions imposed on the origLnal permissIon (ROC/591/88) for the existing stables 'within the application dite. They claim that they have complied with similar conditions on their own planning permission (ROC/913/86).

Whilst the residents' views are acknowledged there are subtle differences between the two cases in that the original size of the neighbouring stable was negotiated in relationship to the number of horses to be accommodated i.e. two instead of three and size of plot. The number of approved stables (i.e. three) on the application site will not be affected by the current proposal and there will be no additional horses. Furthermore, the application site is bigger than the objectors plot and, if granted, will give the added benefit of removing two dilaJ!dated buildings from the' site. I

BABLING PARISH COUNCIL - no observations.

APPROVE:

01 COMMENCE IN 5 YEARS

02 NON STANDARD CONDITION The barn hereby approved shall only be used for the storage of agricultural equipment used for the farming of the application site and/or storage of produce front the said site or for the storage of materials directly required for the cultivation of the site and for no other purposes whatsoever.

REPORT;

This site consists of 45 acres of farmland now under cultivation for hay cropping and the barn the subject of this application although previously erected without agricultural justification is now in use for the secure storage of hay cropping equipment. Absence of agricultural activity on the land prior to this growing year led to enforcement action by the council to secure its removal. The appeal against this action was unsuccessful and the owner was required to remove the barn.

A hay crop of 2800 bales of hay was been cut this spring and the options for the applicant, certainly in the near future could involve the alternatives of cattle grazing after cropping each year or production of a second crop of hay. This represents a considerable intensification of agricultural activity on the holding since the barn first constituted an unjustifiable breach of planning control at which time only a few dozen bales of hay were produced on only one occasion.

I The current situation has been assessed by M.A.F.F. who, are of the opinion that the barn is of suitable size and construction for a machinery and general purpose store on this farm.

Their inspection revealed a tractor, trailer, hay cutter, and a hay turner. and they considered that the building was secure and perfectly adequate for the storage of farm machinery and for other general purpose storage.

As the barn was erected outside of the Permitted Development provisions for agriculture it still requires express planning permission even though a genuine agricultural use of the holding appears to have commenced this year.

In the light of the support that MAFF have given the barn, it is recommended that planning permission be granted subject to a restrictive condition as to its use and that upon the cessation of its agricultural use that it shoul be removed from the land.

Applicant: MR D ESSAM

I Zoning: M.G.B.

REFUSE:

01 NON STANDARD REFUSAL The proposal for four replacement dwellings in the Green Belt is made without any guarantee that those dwellings they will replace will be demolished. Consequently, until the route of the proposed road is confirmed and it is established that the dwellings are required to be demolished, this proposal is premature and could lead to four additional dwellings in the Metropolitan Green Belt contrary to established national and local policies designed to protect it from, amongst other things, encroachment by inappropriate development. Whilst no exceptional justification exists! the proposal is therefore in conflict with Policies 59 of the Approved Essex Structure Plan and Policy GEl of the Rochford District Local Plan.

02 NON STANDARD REFUSAL This proposal, if allowed without exceptional and acceptable justifying circumstances, would set a precedent for uncontrolled further residential development within the Green Belt to its permanent severe detriment.

REPORT:

This is a difficult and unusual case involving four dwellings which are threatened with the possibility of eventual demolition as they lie on the proposed route of the new A130 where it will cross Old London Road, Rawreth. The proposal is for four replacement dwellings further to the east still located within the Green Belt in the vicinity of The Chichester.

Whilst it may seem initially worthy of detailed consideration in the context of current Council policy for replacement dwellings given the exceptional circumstances requiring the destruction of these otherwise good dwellings, during the process of consultations it has become apparent that until the results of an almost inevitable public inquiry into the proposed route and the route subsequently being confirmed, there is no guarantee until that stage that the County Council who would by then have purchased the dwellings, would then demolish them. Alternatively, they could be resold to recoup the Council's original purchase costs. It is felt that the planning merits of the case indicate that the proposal must be regarded as premature and, if

PAGE 13 now, could result in four additional dwellings being erected in the Green Belt without exceptional justification directly contrary to established local and national policies.

The COUNTY PLANNER broadly concurs with this assessment confirming that at present the construction of the road is only a possibility. No adverse comments are raised by the FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICE, ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL PROPERTY SERVICES have no observations to make, ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL HIGUWAYS have no adverse comments, M.A.F.F. have no observations. N.R.A. point out that the site lies within a 2 luvial flood plain. The HEAD OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES has no objection subject to adequate foul drainage provision being made.

REFUSE:

Cl NON STANDARD REFUSAL In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the proposed house would amount to over—development of the site, giving rise to visual intrusion and loss of light to the detriment of the amenities enjoyed by residents to the west of the site. In the light of these factors, the proposal is contrary to Policy H9 of the Rochford District Local Plan. In November, 1990 amendments to this Policy were agreed by the Local Planning Authority as part of the First Review of the Local Plan. As a result of the review process the Policy will be included in the First Review Local Plan as Policy HS.

02 NON STANDARD REFUSAL I The proposed turning area within the site does not appear to be workable. This would result in vehicles reversing out onto the highway, leading to conditions of danger and obstruction to all road users, being to the detriment of highway safety.

REPORT:

This application follows on from a previous approval under ROC/762/8S for one 4—bedroom house (Plot 1) and one detached chalet (Plot 2) with garages on Greenacres, 336, Eastwood Road. Plot 2 is the current application site.

On the western boundary of the site lie Nos. 1—9, Bartletts which run at right angles to Greenacres. The properties in Bartletts have relatively short gardens and, as such, any dwelling built on Plot 2 (which would have a flank wall, running along their rear boundaries) will have an affect on their visual outlook — especially those at the top end of Bartlette (Nos. 1—5). With this in mind application ROC/762/88 was only approved following negotiations

I II PAGE14 between the Planning Department, Ward Members and the applicants which resulted in the proposed dwelling on Plot 2 being reduced from a four bedroom house to a chalet set in 2.4m from the western boundary to limit the • properties' effect on properties in Bartletts.

The current plans for Plot 2 are little different to those which were submitted and subsequently revised under ROC/762/88. The proposed 4—bedroom house submitted at that time was felt to be unacceptable in terms of size and location bearing in mind the proximity of Nos. 1—5 in Bartletts; thus the proposed house was reduced to a chalet.

The current application is to all intents and purposes the same as the previously proposed 4—bed house and, as such, is still unacceptable in terms of scale and location. Three letters of objection from RESIDENTS of Bartletts have been received raising the following points

(1) overlooking of rear gardens;

(ii) loss of light;

(iii) overdevelopment creating total encroachment to rear aspect of property;

(iv) visually intrusive flank wall (Western elevation);

(v) building too tall in such close proximity to western boundary detrimental to amenity spaces.

The COUNTY SURVEYOR recommends refusal on the grounds that the proposed turning area within the site appears to be unworkable. It is submitted that this would result in vehicles reversing out onto the highway, leading to conditions of danger and obstruction to all road users and being to the detriment of highway safety.

The FORWARD PLANNING SECTION has served a Tree Preservation Order 09/91 on a copper beech and an ash tree to the front of the site on 16th August, 1991. No other trees on the site need to be specifically retained.

The HEAD OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES suggests that any approval should contain conditioning for foul drainage.

REPORfl

Relevant Planning History

The site is one which has twice been defended unequivocally against residential development on appeal (ROC/116/84 and ROC/249/86). Following these decisions, permission was granted in 1987 for the warehouse building at the rear of the site to be converted to a dwelling and this permission has been implemented (ROCJ664J87). A subsequent application in 1990 (OL/748f90/ROC) for two houses on the present application site was refused and dismissed on appeal in May this year. The Inspectorts decision, however, contradicts considerations which led to the appeal decisions to dismiss the earlier proposals.

Accordingly, the recommendation of approval is made cautiously and very much on balance having regard to all the circumstances of the case.

w I

PAGE 16 The Recetppj. Decision — oL/o748/9o/Rc

In this decision, the Inspector states that the principle of residential development is acceptable on this frontage and will not create a precedent but accepts that the barn conversion has set a precedent by altering the character of the site. The Director thinks the precedent argument is critical in that the new inf ill could change the character of the area further.

The Inspector listed the following as the three principal factors to be considered

(a) Is the proposal an acceptable exception to policies to control development in the Metropolitan Green Belt?

(b) Would the proposal seriously harm living conditions at adjoining dwellings as a result of overlooking and offer acceptable living conditions to the occupiers of the proposed houses?

On the first issue, the Inspector refers to the previous appeal decision and acknowledges the barn's conversion to a dwelling since that time. This is a crucial factor because the Inspector says at para. 7 of the decision

"On visiting the site I found that the barn is a substantial two storey building which now has a strongly residential appearance. I formed the view that the land to its front made a similar contribution to that to the front of Rlinger House, just to the south of Hillside Road. That contribution, I consider, is of a pleasant, open, but essentially residential character, on the ground there now appears to me! no differentiation between the character of development to the east side of Eastwood Rise which are in the Green Belt and those to their immediate south which are not.'1

The Inspector continues at para. 8

"I do not consider that the appeal site any longer contributes to the five purposes of Green Belts as set out in Planning Policy Guidance 2, as, subject to an assessment of its other planning merits, it appears to me a potential inf ill site on the east side of the road which otherwise comprises a continuous, if fairly low density, residential frontage, I am mindful of the importance of not undermining Green Belt boundaries once they have been established, but consider that the conversion of the barn has changed the character of the site. Accordingly I consider that, subject to the other planning uerits of a proposal, the very special site specific circumstances would allow for residential development here, without threatening the aims of Green Belt policies. on the matter of precedent, I consider that the circumstances are sufficiently unusual that allowing this appeal could not be used to support other proposals unless they were acceptable on their individual

merits." !! !

I 1

PAGE 17'

I On the second issue, the Inspector considered at para. 9 that the proposed built form i.e. houses, would give rise to unacceptable overlooking and loss of privacy to dwellings at the rear. Furthermore, the flank walls set wthin approximately im of the driveways would result in vehicles passing so close to the proposed dwellings they would produce unacceptable living conditions to their occupiers via noise and fumes. on the third issue considered at para. 10, the Inspector said

"Most dwellings nearby are set fairly spaciously in their plots and there is rarely a discernible building line. The two large houses shown on your plan would fill most of the frontage of the site. Although the dwelling to the south is a house, it is screened by vegetation so that I consider it is the visual relationship with the bungalows to the north which is more important. The houses shown would be very different in character to those bungalows. The illustrative proposal would in my view appear cramped and out of scale with the adjoining development and thus harmful to the character of the area."

Summary

In this instance the Inspector appears to accept at paras. 7 and 8 of the decision that some form of residential development subject to specific caveats could be justified on this site as an exception to Metropolitan Green Belt policies. The scheme failed mainly on technical detailing related to the proposed built form, scale and siting embodied within the second and third factors considered at paras. 9 and 10 of the decision.

The present scheme seeks to overcome the failings identified above and comprises a single bungalow with reasonable separation from neighbouring driveways adjacent.

The HEAD OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES raises no' objections subject to a condition being attached to any permission granted requiring submission and approval of a foul drainage system.

NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY has no ob)ection to this proposal from a land drainage point of view subject to only clean surface water from roofs should discharge to soakaways. ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL CONSUMER AND PUBLIC PROTECTION comment that the application site is within 25Cm of an old landfill site which, to their knowlege, has never been tested for landfill gas (methane). As the development involves foundation work, they suggest precautionary features in the construction if permission were to be granted.

The COUNTY SURVEYOR leaves the decision to the discretion of the Looal Planning Authority.

REPORT:

Whilst this application wculd normally be a case for the Director of Development to refuse under his delegated powers, the item is brought to Committee because of enforcement implications. The application was made following an inspection of the site by an Enforcement Off icer.

The caravan or mobile home is already positioned on a concrete base and a further, but smaller, caravan has been noted immediately next to this. On the same site a shed is situated and various other items are being stored, i.e. a boat, wooden pallets, a "dumper truck", various planks and timber. All of these contribute to an untidy appearance within an area which, although containing sporadic plotland development, is nonetheless a rural, Green Belt location where such buildings and changes of use are normally resisted.

The applicants have indicated in their letter supporting the application that the caravan/mobile home will only be used as a shelter/toilet facility whilst they keep the site maintained. They have further stated that they are not looking for and have no need for a house on this site but do need the above facilities.

The HEAD OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES has no adverse comments.

Objections have been received from two NEIGHBOURS on the following grounds; first step to permanent dwelling; blemish on natural appearance of the area; land presently used as a business with heavy lorries visiting and therefore permanent siting will increase this causing damage to roads and verges; increase in other traffic; smoke from past scrub clearance fire caused nuisance; overlooking of rear garden; site currently appears like a rubbish tip; area will appear like a caravan site; above nuisances will increase with permanent caçavan on site.

REPORT:

I Members will recall that permission for the two bungalows included within this application were refused (under reference No. ROC/571/89) mainly on the grounds of it being an unsatisfactory form of backland development. However, whilst the subsequent appeal was dismissed, the Inspector took the view that the development was generally acceptable; his only objection was the close proximity of the proposed private drive/turning area to 67, Louis Drive.

This current application shows these areas being better isolated from No. 67 with the isolation distance being doubled to some 3.Om and Lam (6ft) high brick walls and planting in between. The application also seeks permission for a chalet, to the road froptage, on land which did not'form part of the appeal site. Nonetheless, permission has been granted in the past for a pair of semi—detached chalets on this and the adjoining plot (ROC/l37/75 and ROC/1088/78 apply) whilst permission for the same was refused in 1986 solely on "sewerage embargo" grounds (R0C/312/86 refers).

The HEAD OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES has no adverse comments.

PAGE 20 Q111fl4 Six letters have been received from NEIGHBOURS although two have no objections and a third will not ob)eot if the development will not be joined to the existing sewers in Louts Drive. The ob)ections refer to: possible conversion • of the bungalows to chalets and therefore overlooking/loss of privacy problems; traffic congestion; removal of trees/vegetation; loss of wildlife; increased noise levels/disturbance; increase on street parking; problems from builders' lorries on narrow roads; sewer overloaded.

REPORT:

The site, which was previously owned by the Local Planing Authority, is within an Area of Special Restraint that the Local Plan Review identified for development post—1990.

Negotiations have been continuing on this outline application for some considerable time — mainly on the issue of sight visibility splays and highway safety. The latest set of revised plans indicates a new position for the sole site access although the applicants have now withdrawn the details of layout for approval at the "reserved mattersTM stage. Consequently, Members will only be considering the principle of the development and the site access at this meeting. It shall be noted that the following responses were made on the basis of the detailed layout plans unless otherwise stated

ANGLIAN WATER — no objection but reguests details of foul and surface water drainage to be agreed.

NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY — no' objection but states that surface water design should require use of trapped road type gullies, etc.

ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL — leaves determination of application to the discretion of Rochford District Council subject to the release being phased in accordance with the Local Plan Review.

COUNTY PLANNER — suggests major alterations to the (then) proposed layout.

HEAD OP ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES - no adverse comments.

ROCHFORD PARISU COUNCIL - objects on grounds of additional traffic in stambridge Road and Rochford.

COUNTY SURVEYOR '— no objection to revised plans subject to Condition 47 to 10 above and covenant/legal agreement re splays.

PAGE 22 001066 ___ Three letters of objection have been received from NEIGHBOURS (on the now superseded layout plans); increased volume of traffic; position of access 5 road dangerous; increased pollution of noise, fumes, etc.; little variation in house type; little public transport; no public amenities nearby; use of site should be for public open space purposes in lieu of other areas lost nearby; overlooking of and dominating bungalows adjacent; loss of privacy.

Any further comments received in response to the revised plans will be reported verbally to the meeting.

INTRODUCTORY REPORT TO FOLLOWING THREE ITEMS:

Phase I — RM/0365/91/ROC (Item 15) Phase IX — F/0259/91/ROC (Item l6J Phase III — F/0260/91/ROC (Item 17) These applications cover the three main phases of the overall small development site. Separate full permissions already having been granted for the remaining element, i.e. the new church hall.

The composite site is within the residential envelope of Stanibridge. This was recognised in granting outline planning permission is October, 1989 to erect seven houses, five bungalows and nine cottages with associated access road/garages and conversion of a dwelling to a church.

A vital element as far as the Council was concerned at that time was the upgrading of the local footpath. This culminated in an offer by the applicant and a Legal Agreement to provide and dedicate a new public footpath link and to provide street lighting in Stanibridge Road. This link connects the existing footpath in the village core to the existing paths some considerable distance to the south beyond the pumping station. The purpose being to create a continuous public footpath connection to the school.

The principle established in the outline has been followed through in these three detailed applications ,ith 2—bed cottages fronting Stambridge Road in the heart of the village, houses in the centre of the site and bungalows sited at the rear behind cagefield Road. The centre of the site has been rethought, whilst still maintaining houses, No. 11 x 2-bed units replace No. 2 x 3—bed and No. 5 x 4—bed.

The overall comparative figures set out below show that although there is a small increase in density, there is a sharp fall in bed spaces and thus occupancy rates for the site —

Especially after 1992 when the field adjacent Stewards Elms Farm Lane is due for development. (Members should note that the District Plan policies in relation to play areas require minimum garden areas in preference to separate play areas and that the development of the site for 2 bedroomed properties (all with appropriate sized gardens) is not geared towards large family households.

REPORT:

The proposal follows the refusal of application F/0248/91/ROC to re-build the existing vacant bungalow on the site, which has first floor accommodation achieved as Permitted Development.

This revised proposal has recuced the eaves level of the chalet, and reduced the overall bulk of the dormers and the front gable by using hipped roofs. In essence, the proposal is not an exact replacement of the bungalow, but satisfies floor space criteria, and has a lower ridge height than the existing bungalow. Furthermore, the site is surrounded by large chalet and house type dwellings, and on balance it is therefore felt that it would be unreasonable not to allow first floor accommodation in view of the existing permitted development works.

One NEIGHBOUR has replied, raising no objection in principle, but concerned that the ridge height and expanse of roof area is increasing, and about overlooking from the rear dormers. The ridge height proposed is less than the existing dwelling.

No other adverse comments have been received.

The Site Generally

A fish farm was established on the site many years ago and has been known by various names. In the period 1936 to about 1955 small boats could be hired for pleasure purposes on the lake, but that use diminished and ceased. Staiubridge Trout Fisheries were concerned with supplying fish for stocking and restocking aquaria pools and rivers and for the table. Garden pools and aquatic plants were also offered for sale.

PAGE 31 001075 Prior to the present applicant's purchase of the site in November, 1989, the fishery had been a tlow key1 operation for a number of years. The existing rather run down building includes an area for light refreshments and sales.

There is alsO history of a tea rooms/restaurant on the site for many years certainly up to 1972 until the building was lost by fire in 1977. Historically, the adjacent dwelling, Brick House, was within the stambridge Fisheries site. However, this has not been the case for some years, it being occupied separately since the early 1980's.

The applicant has rejuvenated the site since late 1988 with extensive improvements and a main fish farm operation of fish for the table, together with both trout and course fishing by rod and line.

Previous Application and Appa1

This application follows an application for similar proposals albeit in a very different form under reference ROC/241/89. that application was refused on M.G.B. objections to the new dwelling, similar objections to the scale and nature of the cafe and shop use, excessive scale of the hatchery/shop/cafe building and its appearance and on a highway policy objection. Although the Council made it plain that no objections were raised to revitalise the fish farm on site or to the recreational fishing by rod and line.

An appeal was lodged against that decision and heard at a public hearing on 20th June, 1990.

The Inspector in considering the proposals divided them into separate elements: —

(i) Hatchery, Workshop, Garage, store- considered appropriate subject to satisfactory details.

(ii) ShopfCafe - found inappropriate but noted. The Local Planning Authority view that provision could he made in a building of smaller scale.

(iii) pyillj. - concurred with the hDAS report that a resident on. site key worker would be required for a fish farm of the size and potential envisaged but that on agricultural need there was no justification for the proposed dwelling at the present tLme.

The Inspector had no doubt that the applicants intentions were genuine but felt that the first year of operation was an insufficient period of time to gauge the longer time viability of such project.

She said that two years would be a reasonable period over which to test

I viability. (iv) Highway Obiection — this emerged from the County surveyor but the Inspector felt that access arrangements were acceptable subject to resiting of the electricity pole.

Thus, despite the application as a whole being dismissed by the Inspector, the general tone of the Inspector's assessment was upbeat and not against the principle being sought. she took into account the supportive ADAS report, the extensive improvements and commitment to the site and the accountants figures for the business turnover for t, year ending 31st March, 1990, showing a profitable state.

I I I I OflO7' In layout terms she was concerned, about the spread of the building along the sites frontage and that the appearance and impact of the buildings should be compatible with the adjacent Grade II listed building, Brick House. She felt the Council's suggestion that the buildings be grouped in a Farmstead had much to commend it.

Current Proposals

These flow from the Inspector's direction. Furthermore, the all important two year period test viability has passed.

Also, to take stock of the position generally, the applicant has rejuvinated the site since late 1988 with extensive excavation and remodelling of ponds, and more recently with considerable tree landscaping, forming store ponds and installing a new filtration system for the store ponds.

Those Members who attended the site visit in 1989 would have witnessed the investment at that stage. This has continued including the provision on site of the Managers mobile home under temporary permission granted (F/0805/90/ROC). Such investment is a material consideration in determining the application as a sign of the applicants commitment to the site.

The current proposals both since the appeal decision and during the life of the application have been the subject of extensive negotiation. Three main areas fall for consideration

(i) Siting, Scale and Design of Proposed Buildinqg The proposals have been toned down to two buildings grouped as a Farmstead in the natural position adjacent to the access and towards Brick House. One is the house and a domestic garage, the other a single storey building accommodating under one roof all the other uses. This avoids sprawl in a M.GB. setting but still maintains reasonable separation. The County Planner (Specialist Advice) view in relation to Listed Buildings is that the proposal is now acceptable in visual terms, follows the advice given and recommends conditions regarding materials and detailed construction drawings.

The overall appearance and siting is certainly a considerable improvement upon the earlier plans subject of the aippeal with good design, materials and finish.

The size of the house has been reduced to less than l8osq.m (1936.Bsq.ft.) which compares favourably with other cases. The other uses have been brought together uncer one roof with an overall reduction in floor area of about 10% from the appeal roposals.

One element of this accommodation the digger garage accepted by the Inspector as appropriate has caused concern in terms of its scale and impact. Various solutions have been muted and certainly the original plans under the current appltcat4.on were the most! objectionable with its siting at the front towards Brick House. Due to its adverse impact on the site generally and the Listed Building the Brick House. In particular, this drew objection from your Officers, the County Planner (Specialist Advice), Stambridge Parish Council and the occupier of Brk House. The current revised plans are the favoured option by you

PARE I 00107 Off icers and the County Planner (Specialist Advice) with it sited still as part of the main farmstead but to the rear of the hatchery/sales building and having a lower profile than previously proposed. Iowever, the occupiers of Brick Rouse maintain an equally strong objection to this arrangement due to loss of view and "closing int' effect. Their preference is for one of the earlier variations with the digger housing accommodated as part of the northern wing of the farmhouse.

(ii) Composite Uses/Building proposed The Inspector found the hatchery, workshop, garage (for digger) and store appropriate but did not find in favour of the shop or cafe.

The present proposals accommodated all these uses within a single building. The overall floor area has been reduced by 10% and the refreshment area almost halved. The applicant feels that the inspector over-played the question of the shop and cafe' and maintains that he only wishes to continue to enjoy a small ancillary sales and light refreshment area as he does at the moment. The purpose of being "Farm Gate Sales" for the table, trade, stock fish and aquatic plants, whilst the light refreshments would continue the present service with cold and hot beverages, and cold and hot snacks for anglers. A Section 106 Legal Agreement is offered by the applicant to control both uses.

The Director accepts that a small sales area for operational purposes in conjunction with the fish farm, trout and course fishing is reasonable. More caution is advised in respect of a specific refreshment area as opposed to sales of light refreshments in the operational sales area. In particular, it would be most undesirable for the use to escalate to a general roadside cafe. This said, a refreshment area with seating does exist at present, the area proposed has been almost halved and the Legal Agreement is on offer.

(iii) gicultural Need for Dwelling The Inspector felt that the main ingredients to assessing need that it only failed on one element — the viability of the enterprise — as one years turnover was not sufficient for assessment purposes.

To recap the ADAS report dated April, 1989 explained the main enterprise of the fish farm would concentrate on is the hatching and rearing of trout, sales to be in the order of 150,000 per annum. The facilities as they existed at that time had the potential of being a viable enterprise, proposals were ambitious but should targets not be met then the increased water area and improved facilities generally should improve existing potential. Even the current fish farming activities, ignoring recreational pursuits required at least one full time employee and it being essential the key worker should be resident,

The Inspector recognised the on—site improvements and commitment, considered the applicants first year business turnover was in a profitable state, but that the test of viability was needed over two

years. I

Circular 24/73 advises on the agricultural need of new dwellings and that viability is normally required as part of the justification. It states "Viability in this context can for practical purposes be defined as offering a competent farmer the prospect of sufficient livelihood" investments n the farm being a good indicator of intentions.

PAGE 34 Clearly, since the last appeal there has continued to be considerable improvements/investment on the site, including

(a) the managers mobile home;

(b) creation of some 8 store ponds and further improvements to main ponds;

(d) water filtration system.

Accountants figures for the first two years trading are available and a third years projection. The second years figures showed an increase in business turnover of 32% with an increased gross profit after all overheads/wages paid. Of the gross taking some 60% was agricultural activity with 40% non—agricultural activity (but including recreational "fishing).

The accountants make the reasonable comment that had the proposed development works been undertaken then performance would have been even better. This would no doubt be particularly true for the main enterprise of trout for the table. To achieve the best profitable through—put and to meet the 150,000 target (ADAS) requires the hatchery building. Officers feel a reasonable mechanism here is to require by way of a Legal Agreement that the hatchery building be erected and completed prior to commencement of works on the house.

Officers conclude had the Inspector looked at this position today she would have found in favour of viability.

Consultations

ANGLIAN WATER and NATIONAL RIVERS AUTRORITY raise no objection. The ROCRFORD DISTRICT ACCESS COMMITTEE comment on four detailed points which will be conveyed to the applicant by informatives. (Officers are aware that the applicant has consciously made provision for disabled anglers at the site).

The COUNTY SURVEYOR raises no objection and recommends four conditions regarding access radii, repositioning electricity pole, parking and turning space and visibility splays within limits of the site.

ROCEPORD EUNDRED AMENITIES SOCIETY - support the District council in any recommendation for a suitable rural development within Green Belt criteria.

The views of both the COUNTY PLANNER (SPECIALIST ADVISER) and of the NEIGEBOURS at the Brick house are outlined in the main body of the report. Save to clarify that the latter only object in relation to the digger housing element, stating that they "have every sympathy with Mr. Saul's desired to embark upon the building work, which we too feel would be of benefit to the fishery".
