Χονσυλτατιον Ρεσπονσεσ Ηιγηωαψσ: No objections. 4. Νειγηβουρ Ρεσπονσεσ Five letters have been received from nearby occupiers objecting, inter alia, on the following grounds: o over-development of the site o out of keeping with the neighbourhood o erosion of light and air space to neighbouring properties o the plans are contradictory with the site plan and floor plans indicating different positions of the site boundary and with the single storey extension extending over the site boundary of 15 Great Oaks (Note: revised plans have been submitted) o encroachment on the adjacent property causing a loss of privacy o the front extension will affect the building line of the road Weekly List 1398/6
An additional two letters have been received on behalf of and from an adjoining occupier in relation to the submission of revised plans objecting, inter alia: o the proposed extension at the side will overhang and compromise the site boundary to no.15 5. Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ The detached dwellings located at nos.12, 13, 14 and 15 Great Oaks are each set at an angle to the Great Oaks highway. The dwellings are located progressively closer to the highway although the highway, at this point, is straight. The two storey extension at the front of the application property is located in excess of 1m from the site boundaries and complies with the 45 degree rule. Whilst the depth of this element is in excess of the 1.3m as set out in Appendix 5 of the Local Plan, it is sited 1.3m forward of an existing bay window of the application property and some 7.75m from the back of the Great Oaks highway. Given the foregoing and that this forward most element of the extended dwelling would continue to be behind the front elevation of the dwelling at no.13, it is considered that this element would not be unduly dominant in the street scene. The first floor extension at the front is located over part of the garage. The flank wall of the extension aligns with the existing flank of the dwelling and, at this point, is located 1m from the site boundary and complies with the 45 degree rule. The two storey extension at the rear is located in excess of 1m from the site boundaries and complies with the 45 degree rule. It partly replaces an existing single storey extension at the rear. The single storey extension to the south-east facing elevation is indicated to be sited up to the site boundary with no.15 Great Oaks. Whilst the adjacent neighbour is not in agreement with the existing and proposed position of the site boundary, revised plans indicate that the proposed single storey extension at the side is to be located 300mm off the site boundary to prevent eaves and guttering overhanging the boundary. Additionally, the applicant has signed Certificate A of the application form indicating that he is the owner of the land to which the application relates. Therefore, no part of the proposed development should encroach onto the adjoining land. Whilst boundary issues are not a planning matter, given the above and the requirements of Informative 1 below, it is considered that this element of the proposal is satisfactory. Given the above, it is considered the proposals would not be unduly dominant in the street scene or detrimental to the character and appearance of the locality. In light of the above, and subject to conditions and informatives set out below, it is considered the proposal satisfies the relevant criteria of Policy CP1. Weekly List 1398/7

Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ The conservatory is proposed to be built to the rear of a detached bungalow. Approval was given in 2000 for the construction of a replacement bungalow on the site, and the new bungalow had permitted development rights removed. The new bungalow added 35.5 sq.m of floorspace. Policy GB5 states that properties in the Green Belt can be extended by a maximum of 37 sq.m. Therefore the property can now only be extended by 1.5 sq.m. The letter which accompanied the application suggested that the conservatory would be a non-habitable room, however, since 1998 conservatories have been classed as habitable rooms and have therefore been included in the 37 sq.m permitted in the Green Belt. The letter also states that a neighbouring property, Pinecroft, has extended into the roof, which has harmed the openness of the Green Belt. However this neighbouring property is also unable to insert dormer windows into the roof. Condition 4 of planning approval BRW/429/2008 states that no dormer windows can be inserted into the roof space. Therefore this neighbouring property is currently subject to an enforcement enquiry. The proposed conservatory would add an additional 8.6925 sq.m of floorspace to the property. This would create a total of 44.1925 sq.m of additional floorspace. Therefore not complying with Policy GB5 of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan. In light of the above, it is considered that the proposal does not comply with Policy GB2 and GB5 of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan. 6.

Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ This application is for an amendment to the previously approved conservatory, approved under BRW/627/2008. The conservatory is located in a recessed position at the rear of a detached house. The amendment to the approved conservatory consists of the addition of 6 high level windows to the North West side elevation. Although these windows will face the window of the neighbouring property, 11 Alwyne Avenue, they are located 1.7m above the ground level, therefore overlooking would be difficult. The proposal is considered to have an acceptable impact on the general amenities of neighbouring occupiers. Weekly List 1398/10

5. Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ The single storey rear extension is proposed to a semi- detached house. The proposed extension is to be the same depth as the extension to the adjoining property, 87 Woodman Road. The other neighbouring property also benefits from a rear extension. The proposal is also for the insertion of a ground floor side windows and a door on the West elevation. The plans show that the new window is to be obscure glazed, which would remove any potential overlooking problems. It is considered that the extension would have an acceptable impact on the general amenities of neighbouring occupiers. In light of the above, it is considered that the proposal complies with Policy CP1 of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan. 6.

Προποσαλσ Replacement roof: 12.2m long x 9.1m deep and would result in the building being 9.5m high (maximum dimensions); pitched roof with 2no. pitched roofed dormers on front elevation measuring 1.4m wide x 2.5m deep and 2.3m high (maximum dimensions). The new roof would include a new gabled roof above an existing two storey, front projection. The new, enlarged roof would accommodate a 1no. bedroom flat. The materials to be used to construct the external surfaces of the new roof would be brick and render for the walls and plain, clay tiles for the roof. The applicant states that there are currently approximately 8no. parking spaces within the site which would remain unchanged. The application is accompanied by a Design and Access Statement. The existing building accommodates 3no. flats (1no. one bedroom flat and 2no. two bedroom flats). 2.

Weekly List 1398/13
4. Νειγηβουρ Ρεσπονσεσ Four letters of objection have been received on the basis that:- o the building would be considerably higher than the surrounding properties and so would not be in keeping with its surroundings and would be an eye-sore; o would harm view, a view of trees and playing field would be lost and value of property would be reduced [the loss of a view and the effect of proposed development on property values is not a material planning consideration]; o would result in a loss of privacy and increase noise in a quiet residential area; o concern regarding noise, inconvenience and restriction of access during construction [these are either covered by other i.e Environment Health, legislation or are a civil matter to be resolved privately between the relevant parties]; o would reduce light to kitchen and dining room which are already extremely dark due to an existing garage. 5. Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ It is considered that the proposed development, by reason of its size, height, location, scale and design, would not harm the amenity of the occupiers of neighbouring dwelling houses by reason of overlooking, dominance, loss of sunlight, loss of daylight or disturbance. The windows proposed on the rear elevation of the building are high level velux roof lights which would not provide opportunities for overlooking of neighbouring residential properties. It is also considered that the proposed development, by reason of its size, height, location and design, would not be out of keeping with the existing building and its surroundings and so the development would not be harmful to local visual amenity. The building as extended would be only around 1m higher than the neighbouring residential properties on Rayleigh Road. Furthermore, it is considered that the proposed dormer windows would be of an appropriate size, scale and position for the new roof proposed. The existing private amenity space would be of sufficient size to provide the occupiers of each of the existing and proposed flats with 25sq.m. of private amenity space. The proposed one bedroom flat would have a floorspace of only 47sq.m. which is above the recommended minimum of 40sq.m. referred to in the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan. As a result, it is considered that the living conditions for the occupiers of the proposed flat would be acceptable. Based on the advice of the Highways Officer, it is considered that the development would not be harmful to highway safety. As a result, it is considered that the proposed development complies with Local Plan Policies CP1, H14, H17 and T2. Weekly List 1398/14

o increased height of the two storey and first floor elements to a maximum of 7.9m; and, o amendment of the fenestration pattern proposed including the addition of rooflights to the single storey and two storey rear extensions. It is considered that the proposed development would not harm the amenity of the occupiers of adjacent residential properties by reason of overlooking, dominance, loss of sunlight or loss of daylight due to the size, design, height and location of the extensions proposed. The 45 degree rule would be complied with. It is also considered that the proposed development would be in-keeping with the existing dwelling and the street scene as a result of the size, design and location of the extensions proposed and as many of the existing dwellings in the vicinity of the application site have parking areas within their front gardens. The two storey elements of the extensions would be at least 1m from the side boundaries of the site. Based on the advice of the Highways Officer provided in response to the last planning application, it is considered that the development would not be detrimental to highway safety.

Otherwise, given the location and scale of the development, no objection raised. Εσσεξ Βαδγερ Προτεχτιον Γρουπ: objects as a large number of badgers live in setts within a few hundred metres of the site and it is likely that there are territorial limits on where a particular group of badgers can forage. There has been intense badger foraging on the site for many years and this indicates that the site is a valuable resource for the badgers that forage on it. The proposal would reduce the area of the site on which badgers could forage by about 50% or possible by 100% if the site is securely fenced. This would result in the badgers that forage on the site being deprived of a valuable source of food. It is unlikely that they would be able to compensate by extending their territory.

Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ It is considered that, as a result of the position, height, size and design of the proposed buildings, the development would not be harmful to the amenity of the occupiers of neighbouring residential properties by reason of overlooking, dominance, loss of sunlight or loss of daylight. It is also considered that the dwelling proposed, as a result of its position, height, size and design, would be in-keeping with the street scene and would not be harmful to local visual amenity. However, it is considered that the proposed garage building, by reason of its size, position, height and bulk would be harmful to local visual amenity as it would be a prominent and visually incongruous element in the street scene being located significantly forward of the front elevation of the existing dwellings and that proposed. It is recommended that planning permission is refused for this reason. It is considered that the retention of some of the existing vegetation along the site's frontage which is proposed would not be sufficient to overcome this harm. However, based on the advice of the Arboriculturalist, it is considered that the proposed development would not adversely affect the preserved Beech tree located to the south-east of the application site on adjacent land. Based on the advice of the Highways Officer, it is considered that, if planning permission is granted, a condition needs to be imposed relating to the minimum internal dimensions of the garages proposed. However, it is considered that it would not be reasonable to impose a condition which would require the repositioning of the proposed garages as recommended by the Highways Officer. Hence, it is recommended that planning permission is refused on the basis of the proximity of the proposed garage doors to Rose Bank and the impact this would have on highway safety. Furthermore, based on the advice of the Essex Badger Protection Group, it is considered that the proposed development would have an adverse impact on the badgers who use the site for foraging through the loss of foraging ground the development would cause. As a result, it is considered that the proposed development does not comply with Local Plan Polices CP1, T2 and C3, and there are no conditions which could reasonably be imposed which would overcome the harm which the development would cause. However, the proposed development is not contrary to Local Plan Policy C7 and the requirements of Policy IR5 could be met through the imposition of an appropriately worded condition.
