Προποσαλσ One free standing sign is proposed partially behind an existing fence to the North East of the bowling clubhouse and to the North of the bowling greens. The sign is proposed to be 2.4m wide and 1.2m high and is to be on two 1.5m high poles. One free standing sign is proposed to the North East of the bowling greens and in front of a hedge. The sign is to measure 2.4m wide, 1.2m high and is to be on two 1.2m high poles. 2. Ρελεϖαντ Ηιστορψ No relevant planning history. 3.

Νειγηβουρ Ρεσπονσεσ None 5. Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ The application seeks consent for two free standing signs, one close to the clubhouse and the other next to the bowling greens and next to a path. The signs are located within a park and in the Metropolitan Green Belt. The application should be determined with regard to the effects on public safety and amenity. The Highways Authority have no objection to the advertisements, they are not close to a highway and do not obstruct any rights of way. It is considered that the advertisements would have no detrimental effect on public safety. Weekly List 1480/5 Week Ending 18th March 2011

7 The advertisements are to be located within a public park and close to open fields as well as buildings and the bowling greens. The area does contain some other signs, however, they are not as large as these proposed signs. Due to the overall size of the signs it is considered that two advertisements as proposed would be would be unacceptably intrusive and would detract from the character and appearance of the area. However one sign would not be unreasonable. It is considered that provided that only one sign is displayed each of the proposed locations would be acceptable. Subject to the limitation of the consent to one sign, and subject to that sign being only used to advertise the bowling club and for no other purpose it is considered that the proposal would not be unacceptably detrimental to the amenity of the area and would not conflict with Policies CP1, GB2 and C24 of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan. 6. Ρεχοµµενδατιον Approve Informatives 1) Notwithstanding the description of the proposal this consent relates to the display of ONE of the proposed signs only at any time. (Ρεασον: The display of both signs of this size and in the locations proposed would unacceptably detract from the character and appearance of the area.) 2) The advertisement hereby approved shall be used only to advertise the Brentwood and Central Essex Bowling Club and shall not be used for the display of any other advertisement. (Ρεασον: The use of this location for general purpose advertising would detract from the character and appearance of the area.) 1) Note this consent relates to one sign only, the choice of which sign to display lies with the applicant. 2) The following plans are relevant to this decision: drawing numbers, 1952:01 Rev A and 1952:02. 3) I11 - Policies related to approval Weekly List 1480/6 Week Ending 18th March 2011

9 Planning Policy Guidance note 2 states that development is inappropriate unless it is for one of the purposes specified. Limited extensions to dwellings are not inappropriate development but it is for the Local Planning Authority to define what is a limited extension. Provided that it does not result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building, the extension or alteration of dwellings is not inappropriate in Green Belts. Local Plan Policy GB2 states that when considering proposals for development within the Green Belt, the Local Planning Authority will need to be satisfied that they do not harm the openness of the Green Belt. Policy GB 5 indicates that extensions should not increase the floor area of dwellings by more than 37 sq m. The proposed development extends approximately 7m wide, 6.55m deep and 5.9m high with a hipped roof. The proposed garage extension would create 45.85sq.m of additional floorspace. The original dwelling has already been significantly extended (planning permissions in 1969, 1992 and 1994). It is considered that having regard to the existing additions the cumulative effect of the proposal would not be a limited addition to the original dwelling and it would therefore be inappropriate development in the Green Belt. No information has been included within the application that would clearly outweigh the harm as a result of inappropriateness and the effect on openness. It is therefore recommended for refusal. 6. Ρεχοµµενδατιον Refuse Informatives 1) Having regard to the existing enlargements to the existing dwelling, it is considered that the proposed garage would not be a limited addition and would detract from the openness of the Green Belt contrary to Policies GB2 and GB5 of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan ) I12 - Policies related to refusal Weekly List 1480/8 Week Ending 18th March 2011

Προποσαλσ Two storey side extension with a hipped roof set down from the existing ridge by approximately 0.60 metres. Single storey rear extension with a lean-to roof and three velux windows. Canopy roof over existing ground floor windows and door to front. 2. Ρελεϖαντ Ηιστορψ None relevant. 3. Χονσυλτατιον Ρεσπονσεσ Ηιγηωαψσ: Although the internal dimensions of the proposed garage will not comply with current standards, the Highway Authority would not wish to raise an objection to this application as the area available for parking within the site, excluding the garage, will comply with the Highway Authority, Essex County Council, parking standards, for the proposed extended dwelling. 4. Νειγηβουρ Ρεσπονσεσ None. 5. Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ This application relates to a semi-detached property with a detached garage to the side located in a residential area. The street comprises semi-detached and detached properties some of which have had extensions. Adjoining the property is a detached bungalow at no.135. The guidance in appendix 5 of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan states two storey extensions shall not be erected closer than 1m to the boundary of the property. The proposed two storey side extension would be set down and set back from the existing house. It would be 0.95m from the boundary adjoining no.135 Ingrave Road and have no windows in the flank wall. The proposed distance would be marginally below the 1m guidance; however it would be next to a bungalow and would not result in a terracing effect. Weekly List 1480/9 Week Ending 18th March 2011

11 It is considered the two storey extension would be a subservient extension, would not detract from the character and appearance of the street and would not have an unacceptable detrimental affect on the occupiers of no.135 by way of loss of daylight, privacy and an overbearing effect. The existing single storey rear building would be demolished and replaced with a single storey extension the full width of the house. It would be the same depth as the single storey rear extension at the adjoining occupier's at no. 131 Ingrave Road and is therefore considered to not have an unacceptable detrimental affect on no.131. In light of the above, it is considered the proposal complies with Policy CP1 of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan and is recommended for approval. 6.

Προποσαλσ Retrospective application for the retention of the use of two buildings on the site for storage purposes. The larger of the two buildings is occupied by a removals company for storage while the second smaller building is used for the storage of equipment related to entertainment activities (bouncy castles etc.) Access to the site is off of Church Lane and comprises a 4m wide concrete road suitable for heavy vehicles. 2.

Χονσυλτατιον Ρεσπονσεσ Ηιγηωαψσ: Although some of the roads leading to the site are narrow in places the Highway Authority would not wish to raise an objection to the above application, subject to the following conditions being attached to any approval, given the location, the existence of the site and the scale and use of the buildings. 1. Within two months of the date of any planning approval, a Heavy Goods Vehicle Traffic Management Plan, detailing the route Heavy Goods Vehicles shall use to access the site from Rayleigh Road (A129) and Hanging Hill Lane, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The approved plan shall be used at all times, unless otherwise agreed with the Local Planning Authority. Ρεασον: To ensure an appropriate access route is provided in the interest of highway safety and amenity. Weekly List 1480/11 Week Ending 18th March 2011

13 2. Within two months of the date of any planning approval, details of the design, layout and location of cycle parking facilities in accordance with the Highway Authority, Essex County Council, parking standards shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The approved facility shall be secure, convenient and covered and provided within two months of the date of written approval by the Local Planning Authority and retained at all times. Ρεασον: To ensure appropriate cycle parking is provided in the interest of highway safety and amenity. 4. Νειγηβουρ Ρεσπονσεσ None 5. Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ The site is located in the Metropolitan Green Belt about 1km south east of Church Lane and comprises various single storey buildings associated with the agricultural use of the farm. Two of these buildings became vacant when the farm ceased the growing of vegetables on the farm and these are now used for storage purposes. Government advice on the re-use of existing rural buildings, as set out in PPG 2 takes a positive attitude to the re-use of rural buildings for business uses. In line with government advice Policy GB15 allows for the re-use and adaptation of rural buildings for small scale employment, tourism, leisure and community uses provided the following criteria are met: - - i) There is no materially greater impact than the original use upon the openness of the Green Belt; - ii) Buildings should be of a permanent substantial construction and should be capable of conversion without major or complete reconstruction or alteration to its external appearance; - iii) New use should not require the extension of the building or additional 'open elements' which might conflict with the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it; - iv) There is no unacceptable detrimental impact upon the surrounding countryside, its landscape or wildlife; - v) The new use should not give rise to future requirements for further substantial areas of open land and operational development to be added to the re used building and its immediate surroundings for inappropriate development. Comment: The buildings are set 1km south east of Church Lane and are currently being used for storage purposes. In addition the application site has a large area of hardstanding which can adequately accommodate the loading areas indicated on the submitted plans. For these reasons it is considered that the continued use of the buildings for storage purposes would comply with the requirements of Policy GB15. On the basis of the above, it is considered that the proposal is not inappropriate development in the Green Belt as defined by PPG2 and would not materially reduce the openness of the Green Belt or conflict with the purposes of including land within it. Weekly List 1480/12 Week Ending 18th March 2011

14 The highways officer has indicated that some of the roads leading to the site are narrow in places and for this reason suggested conditions to address this concern. It is however considered that the suggested conditions could not be enforced. In addition, due to the nature of the use the proposed conditions would not be required. The application site is set well away from the nearest neighbouring properties and it is considered that continued use of the buildings for storage would not result in unacceptable harm to the amenities enjoyed by neighbouring properties. Χονχλυσιον: In light of the above it is considered that the continued use of the two buildings for storage purposes would comply with the relevant Local Plan Policies related to the re-use of rural buildings and the openness of the Green Belt while the use of the buildings would in addition not result in harm to any adjoining neighbours. This would be compliant with the aims and objectives of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan. 6. Ρεχοµµενδατιον Approve 1) T1 - Standard time 2) This permission relates solely to the two buildings outlined in red on the approved 1:500 block plan, which shall be used solely for purposes falling within Class B8 of the Schedule to the Town & Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 (as amended) and for no other purpose including any other purpose that may be permitted by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 as amended. (Ρεασον: The site lies within the Metropolitan Green Belt wherein the Local Planning Authority seeks to limit the re-use or adaptation of rural buildings for small scale employment, tourism leisure and community uses.) 3) No goods, articles, chattels or any materials whatsoever shall be stacked, stored or deposited outside of the building(s) on the site. (Ρεασον: The site lies within the Metropolitan Green Belt wherein the Local Planning Authority seeks to restrict the addition of open areas of land to the re-used buildings and its immediate surroundings for inappropriate development.) 4) The development hereby permitted shall (unless any other condition attached to this permission requires otherwise) be carried out, and thereafter permanently retained in strict accordance with the description of development and with the details indicated on the approved plans and specifications, without any amendments, additions or variations whatsoever unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. (Ρεασον: In the interest of amenity.) 5) The following plans are relevant to this permission: Site Plan 1:1250 and Block Plan 1:500 dated 7th February (Ρεασον: For the avoidance of doubt.)

15 Informatives 1) Reason for approval: The proposal would not be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and would accord with PPG 2 and the development plan policies relevant to this proposal that are set out below. 2) The applicant is advised that due to the fact that roads leading to the site are narrow in places, Heavy Goods Vehicles should only use Hutton Village Road to access or exit the site to and from the A129. 3) I11 - Policies related to approval 4) I8 - Accordance with approved plans ΣΠΡΙΝΓΦΙΕΛ ΑΨΣ ΛΑΝΕ ΠΙΛΓΡΙΜΣ ΗΑΤΧΗ ΒΡΕΝΤΩΟΟ ΕΜΟΛΙΤΙΟΝ ΟΦ ΓΑΡΑΓΕ ΑΝ ΕΡΕΧΤΙΟΝ ΟΦ ΓΑΡΑΓΕ ΒΡΩ/86/2011 Ward: BRIZES AND DODDINGHURST Parish: Doddinghurst Parish Council Case Officer: Catherine Williams (Tel: ) Zoning: Metropolitan Green Belt Policies: CP1 GB2 GB7 8/13 Week Date: 5th April Προποσαλσ This application is for a detached garage.

16 4. Νειγηβουρ Ρεσπονσεσ None. 5. Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ The application property is a semi detached dwelling located in the Metropolitan Green Belt, the majority of the residential curtilage lies to the front and side of the property. The property has implemented permission for a two storey and single storey side extension to which a condition was attached preventing the conversion of the garage and store into habitable accommodation. The garage has subsequently been converted. Planning policy guidance note 2 allows for limited extensions to dwellings provided that it does not result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original dwelling. Having regard to the extensions on the site it is considered that the garage would result in a disproportionate addition and therefore would be inappropriate development in the green belt. Policy GB7 states that permission may be granted for detached garages within the curtilage of a dwelling but these will be assessed using policy GB2. Policy GB2 aims to prevent harm to the openness of the green belt, which is its 'most important attribute'. The proposed garage would be located in a similar position to the existing garage which is the subject of an enforcement notice. This is a prominent location adjacent to the highway and it is clearly visible when travelling along Days Lane. It is considered that the proposal by reason of its position and height would encroach on the openness of the green belt, which is its 'most important attribute' and would detract from the visual amenities of the open countryside. An appeal pertaining to the existing garage was dismissed because the development would damage the openness of the green belt and would result in disproportionate additions to the dwelling. In addition the Inspector was not satisfied that the argument made on behalf of the appellant that the garage was necessary to accommodate the number of vehicles at the dwelling constituted very special circumstances sufficient to justify inappropriate development. Although the proposed garage is smaller than the subject of the appeal, it is considered that in this case very special circumstances do not exist to justify the harm by reason of inappropriateness, the effect on openness and the effect on the character and appearance of the countryside. Having regard to the above it is considered that the proposal is contrary to policy GB2, GB7 and CP1 of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan. Weekly List 1480/15 Week Ending 18th March 2011

Ρεχοµµενδατιον Refuse 1) Green Belt (General) 2) The proposed garage by reason of its position and size would unacceptably detract from the openness of the green belt and the character and appearance of the countryside contrary to policies CP1 and GB2 of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan.

19 4. Νειγηβουρ Ρεσπονσεσ One letter of representation: o Two storey side extension will have an impact on the amount of light into their house, particularly the front windows. o Detrimental impact on the front aspect of their house, due to the close proximity and relative size. o There is a protected tree to the front of the property. The tree combined with the extension would create an almost continuous screen to the side of the property. 5. Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ The various extensions are proposed to a detached property which is located in a residential area. The area is characterised by large detached properties which are of varying designs. The side extension is proposed adjacent to the side boundary with 14 Worrin Road. Single storey elements are proposed to the front and side of the extension so that the two storey element is 1m from the side boundary, in accordance with the guidance in appendix 5. The neighbouring property, 14 Worrin Road, has a staggered front elevation and the part of the dwelling closest to the proposed extension, does not extend as far forward as the proposed extension. The 45 degree guidance, when taken from the nearest ground floor front window has been complied with. However, the extension would project forward by approximately 4.6m beyond the front wall of the neighbouring property. It is considered that the extension, which is located close to a neighbouring habitable room, would have an unacceptable overbearing effect on this room. A single storey extension is proposed to the rear of the side extension. This is also located along the side boundary with 14 Worrin Road. This replaces a detached garage which is located close to the side boundary. However although the proposed rear extension does not extend as deep as the current garage, the extension is to be higher and closer to the boundary than the current garage. It is considered that the combined effect of the two storey side extension, and the single storey rear extension, which would have a total depth along the boundary of approximately 16.1m, would have an unacceptable overbearing effect on the general amenities of the neighbouring property. It is considered that the design of the proposed extensions and the proposed amendments to the existing property, including a new porch and new two storey window, would be acceptable and would not be out of keeping with the existing property or the character of the area. Weekly List 1480/18 Week Ending 18th March 2011

20 A carport is proposed to the South West side of the property. It is to be located in an area which currently has a number of trees and shrubs, which are to be removed. A new driveway and gate is also proposed to the front of the proposed carport. Part of the front hedge will need to be removed and a lamp post will need to be repositioned to create the new access way. It is considered that the construction of the carport would not effect the preserved trees, and the loss of the trees and shrubs would not have an unacceptable effect on the area. The Highways Authority do not have a concern regarding the relocation of the street light and it is considered that its relocation would not have an unacceptable detrimental effect on the street scene. The nearest neighbouring property, 8 Worrin Road, is some distance from the side boundary and trees would partially obscure the carport. It is considered that the carport would not have an unacceptable detrimental effect on the neighbouring properties. The carport is proposed to be set back from the main front wall of the property, it is considered that it would not be a dominant feature in the street scene and would not have an unacceptable detrimental effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The street in which the property is located has a mixed character with varying frontages. It is considered that the two front gates would not have an unacceptable detrimental effect on the character and appearance of the area, given their overall height and materials, and the presence of larger gates at nearby properties. Χονχλυσιον: As a result of the projection beyond the front and rear of the adjacent dwelling, the proposal would have an unacceptable overbearing effect on the amenities of the neighbouring dwelling, in conflict with Policy CP1 of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan and for that reason is recommended for refusal. 6. Ρεχοµµενδατιον Refuse Informatives 1) The proposed extension, by reason of the projection beyond the front and rear of the adjacent dwelling, would have an unacceptable detrimental overbearing effect on the neighbouring occupiers, contrary to Policy CP1 of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan. 1) I12 - Policies related to refusal 2) The following plans are relevant to this decision: DL.101, DL.102.

Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ The application property is a semi detached dwelling located within a residential area and the garden faces south west and slopes from front to back. The proposed extension would be a similar depth to the neighbouring conservatory. This proposal would affect the amount of light reaching the south elevation of the conservatory and as a result of the orientation the amount of direct sunlight reaching the conservatory at certain times of the day would be affected. However the conservatory is a completely glazed structure with a translucent roof and it is considered that the proposal would not have an unacceptably detrimental affect on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers by way of loss of light. Having regard to the above it is considered that the proposal complies with policy CP1 of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan. Weekly List 1480/20 Week Ending 18th March 2011

Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ The extensions are proposed to a semi-detached property in a residential area. The area is characterised by semi-detached properties of similar styles, some are set further forward than others, including the neighbouring property, 23 Park Drive. Appendix 5 of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan states that two storey side extensions should be at least 1m from the side boundary. This is to prevent properties appearing terraced and is particularly relevant for semidetached properties with similar distances between all the properties in the road. The side extension is proposed to be 0.7m from the side boundary with 23 Park Drive. As the application property and the neighbouring property are staggered and the side extension is set back, it is considered that the extension would not result in a terracing effect. However the extension would detrimentally alter the open appearance between the two properties. The 45 degree guidance is one indicator as to whether an extension would have an overbearing effect on the neighbouring occupiers. The 45 degree line is measured from the nearest edge of the nearest ground floor window. The 45 degree guidance would not be complied with, when measured from this point of number 23 s ground floor window. Weekly List 1480/22 Week Ending 18th March 2011

24 Given that the neighbouring property does not extend as deep as the application property, combined with the proximity and depth of the extensions, it is considered that the proposal would have an overbearing effect on the general amenities of the neighbouring occupiers at 23 Park Drive. Nearby neighbours have raised other concerns including overlooking. It is considered that, if the first floor side windows were to be obscure glazed, then no unacceptable overlooking would occur. Given that the attached property already has a conservatory along the boundary, of a similar depth to the proposed extension; it is considered that the proposal would not cause an unacceptable detrimental loss of light to the attached property. In light of the above, as a result of proximity and depth of the two storey extension, it is considered that the two storey extension would not comply with Policy CP1 of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan. 6. Ρεχοµµενδατιον Refuse Informatives 1) The two storey extension, by reason of its overall depth and proximately to the neighbouring property (No23), would have an overbearing effect on that property and due to its proximately to the side boundary, would detrimentally alter the open appearance between the two properties, contrary to Policy CP1 of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan. 1) I12 - Policies related to refusal 2) The following plans are relevant to this decision: drawing number, 01478/01A.

Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ The application property is a detached bungalow located in the metropolitan green belt within the Havering Grove plot land development. Planning policy guidance note 2 states that replacement dwellings in the green belt are not inappropriate development, provided that the new dwelling is not materially larger than the dwelling it replaces. The replacement dwelling would incorporate a side and rear addition and rooms in the roof and as such would be materially larger than the one it replaces and would therefore constitute inappropriate development in the green belt. The applicant indicates that the proposed additions to the replacement dwelling could be carried out using the property's permitted development rights and a certificate of lawfulness has been issued for this. In addition if these extensions were implemented on the existing dwelling the proposed dwelling would be a like for like replacement. However the foundations on the existing property mean that development would not be practical. The Brentwood Replacement Local Plan identifies Havering Grove, Tally Ho Drive and Foxes Grove as an area of predominantly low profile, single storey, and small-scale properties. In order to maintain the sporadic plot land character of the area, policy GB9 states that the design of a replacement dwelling will be restricted to a single storey with a low ridge height and low pitch which would physically preclude the formation of rooms in the roof. The existing dwelling could develop rooms in the roof without the express planning permission of the Local planning Authority, in addition, from the front the proposed dwelling would appear similar to the existing dwelling and its height would be the same as the existing dwelling. It is considered that the proposed dwelling would not be contrary to policy GB9. Weekly List 1480/24 Week Ending 18th March 2011

26 Having regard to what could be developed using the existing property's permitted development rights and that the proposed dwelling would not have a detrimental affect on the character of the area, and that permitted development could be removed to prevent extension to the replacement dwelling, it is considered that these factors are sufficient to outweigh the harm done by reason of inappropriateness and very special circumstances apply to justify the harm caused by inappropriateness. 6. Ρεχοµµενδατιον Approve Informatives 1) T1 - Standard time 2) Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country (General Permitted Development) Order 1995, or any subsequent re-enacting Order, no development permitted by Classes A, B, C of Part 1 of the Schedule to that Order shall be carried out without the prior grant of planning permission by the local planning authority. (Ρεασον: Reason: The site lies within the Metropolitan Green Belt, wherein the local planning authority seek to restrict the formation of habitable floorspace to ensure that new dwellings do not become unacceptably materially larger than those that they replace.) 3) The development hereby approved shall be carried out in accordance with drawing no. REVO/680. (Ρεασον: For the avoidance of doubt.) 1) Reason for approval: The proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt; however the local planning authority is satisfied that the material considerations raised in support of the proposal are sufficient clearly to outweigh the harm due to inappropriateness and any other harm identified and that the proposal would accord with PPG 2 and the development plan policies relevant to this proposal that are set out below. 2) I11 - Policies related to approval 3) I8 - Accordance with approved plans Weekly List 1480/25 Week Ending 18th March 2011

28 5. Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ The application site is the rear of a retail unit within the Brentwood Town Centre conservation area. The property is a grade II listed building that fronts the high street. The proposal would result in a graduated development that would result in a three storey building facing William Hunter Way. The proposal does not comply with adopted car parking standards however given its urban location and the comments received from the Highways officer it is considered that a refusal on these grounds would not be justified. The proposal fails to meet the criteria for amenity space, however the Local Plan identifies the town centre as an area suitable for high density development and provision of small unit accommodation and as such it is considered that a refusal on this basis would not be justified. Government guidance on extension of time application states that Local Planning Authorities should focus their attention on planning policies or other material considerations that may have changed significantly since making their original decision. In this case it is considered that there has been no significant change and as such the proposal complies with the relevant Local Plan policies. 6.
