Χονσυλτατιον Ρεσπονσεσ Ηιγηωαψσ: The Highways Authority would not wish to raise an objection to this application as the area available for parking within the site, will comply with the Highway Authority, Essex County Council, parking standards, for the proposed extended dwelling. 4. Νειγηβουρ Ρεσπονσεσ Thirteen letters of objection have been received. The issues raised in the letters can be summarised as follows: o Out of character and appearance with the street scene and surrounding area because all other properties have pitched roofs and the gable roof would be too imposing. o The proposal is incompatible with its location both in terms of size and scale. o The gable roof creates a 3-storey property. o No 44 Surman Crescent objected to the proposal that it would severely affect their outlook and result in a loss of sunlight. Weekly List 1457/6 Week Ending 01st October 2010

o No 44 Surman Crescent stands on ground more than 2ft lower than No 42 Surman Crescent and the raising of the roofline to include dormer windows will change No 42 into a three storey house, which would be overwhelming for the occupiers of No 44. o The height and position of the proposed dormer windows will have a detrimental impact on the general amenities of nearby residents by way of overlooking, lack of privacy and an overbearing effect. o Building work has already begun. o If the proposal is granted planning permission, No 46 would like to be reassured that contractors on site would be required to adhere to the appropriate working hours and conditions. 5. Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ The application site is located in a residential area in the Adopted Brentwood Replacement Local Plan. The site is located on the south side of Surman Crescent. This part of the road slopes up from east to west so that No 44 Surman Crescent sits slightly lower than No 42 Surman Crescent and the ground continues to slope up to No 40. There is a mix of house styles within Surman Crescent including two-storey, semi-detached houses and bungalows, some of which have already been extended, including No 40, which included a single storey rear extension. Following discussions with Officers, this scheme has been revised from the previously withdrawn application by: o Removing the front dormer window o Changing the gabled roof to a half-hipped roof The property has not previously been extended at the rear of the property or the main roof. Permitted Development rights therefore exist to extend the property subject to a number of criteria. The proposed alterations to the roof would result in the building changing from a hipped roof structure to a half hipped main roof. Whilst the appearance of the dwelling would differ from the nearby hipped roofs this element of the proposal, including the rear dormer, could be constructed as "permitted development" without the need for specific planning permission from Brentwood Borough Council. The proposed two storey rear extension is located in excess of 3.6m from the side boundary adjoining No 44 and complies with the 45 degree guidance. It is considered that it would not have an unacceptable affect on the light and outlook of No 44. Further, a two-storey rear extension of the size indicated would comply with the dimensional parameters of "permitted development". In this case the presence of the single storey projection results in the need for planning permission. The single storey element would not be "permitted development"; however it would be slightly angled away from the adjacent dwelling (No 40) and would be set off the boundary. No 40 also has a single storey rear extension, which would be the same depth as the proposed rear extensions and it is considered that it would have an acceptable relationship with that property as regards to light and outlook. Weekly List 1457/7 Week Ending 01st October 2010

The surrounding dwellings are already overlooked by windows at first floor level and it is considered that the proposed dormers would not materially detract from the privacy. As indicated above they could be built without express planning permission. Neighbours have objected to the loft conversion being detrimental to the character and appearance of the street, however this element of the proposal could be built as permitted development. Neighbours object to building work starting on the site prior to planning permission granted, but this is at the applicant s own risk and is not a material planning consideration. In light of the above, it is considered that although submitted as part of the planning application the loft conversion could be built as "permitted development", the rear extension would not have an unacceptable detrimental impact on adjoining occupiers and the proposals satisfy the relevant criteria of Policy CP1. The application is therefore is recommended for approval. 6.

Προποσαλσ Demolition of single storey element at the rear and erection of three storey extension to the rear elevation: 11m wide x 5.1m deep; pitched roof. The central section of the proposed rear extension would be defined by a stone coping. Two flat roof dormers, one to the front and one to the rear roof slope are also proposed which would allow the roof space of the building to be utilised as a master bedroom and an en-suite. Conversion of the extended dwelling would result in the creation of 6 no. 2 bedroom flats. A block containing 6 garages is proposed to the South Western boundary (29 Queens Road). This structure would extend 17.267m along this boundary and would have a maximum height of 2.8m at its highest point adjacent to the proposed terraced area. Bin stores are proposed to the North Eastern boundary (33 Queens Road) of the site directly opposite the proposed garages. Demolition of detached double garage at the rear and formation of private amenity space comprising 263sq.m. In addition to this area a terraced area is proposed to the rear of the application site which would add an additional 40sq.m to the overall amenity provision of the site. 2. Ρελεϖαντ Ηιστορψ Extensive history relating to the conversion of the existing building to flats. The most relevant are: BRW/1130/2006 - Three storey and single storey extensions at the rear, dormer windows to the front and rear together with conversion of extended dwelling to form 3 one-bedroom flats and 4 two-bedroom flats with bin stores at the front and parking at the rear; Refused on the following grounds: O the design of the three storey extension at the rear and dormer windows to the front and rear would be unsympathetic features, detrimental to the appearance and character of the building and the visual amenities of the area O the total floor area of one flat is substandard O the siting and design of the bin store would be impractical, unsympathetic and incongruous, detrimental to the visual amenities of the area.

Χονσυλτατιον Ρεσπονσεσ Ενϖιρονµενταλ Ηεαλτη Σερϖιχεσ: No objection. Ηιγηωαψσ: The Highway Authority would wish to raise an objection to the above application as the dimensions of the proposed garages and therefore the area available for parking within the site will not comply with the Highway Authority, Essex County Council, parking standards, for the proposed development and would be likely to lead to on street parking on this busy and important road and other roads in the vicinity to the detriment of highway safety. However, this objection could be overcome by replacing the garages with parking spaces with dimensions of 2.9 metres by 5.5 metres and providing secure and weather protected cycle parking facilities for at least 12 No. cycles in accordance with the Highway Authority, Essex County Council, parking standards. 4. Νειγηβουρ Ρεσπονσεσ Four letters of objection have been received from adjacent occupiers objecting, inter alia, on the following grounds: - Over-development and inappropriate extension of the existing dwelling extensions at the rear exceed the building line at the rear - Multi-level extension at the rear will result in a loss of amenity - Garages along Bakers Court boundary would result in loss of light and amenity Large areas of hardstanding would result in drainage problems while also harming visual amenity. - No provision for visitor parking - The refuse and recycling bin stores will result in a loss of amenity and health hazard - Loss of privacy from side facing windows - Placing of wheelie bins on highway verge would result in highway safety issues 5. Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ The property is currently a three storey dwellinghouse with the immediate area characterised by similar three storey properties most of which have been converted into flats. The property is within walking distance of Brentwood Station as well as the Brentwood High Street. Weekly List 1457/10 Week Ending 01st October 2010

Accommodation The site lies within an area where a number of properties have been converted to flatted accommodation and permission has previously been granted for the conversion of this building. Therefore no objection is raise to the principle of converting the building into flats The floor space of the 6 no. two-bedroom flats is about 60sq.m per unit and would comply with the guidelines as set out in Appendix 5 of the Local Plan. Environmental Health Service has also not raised any objections to the proposed scheme. Where amenity space is to be provided communally, Appendix 1 of the Local Plan requires a minimum of 25sq.m. per flat, i.e. a total of 150sq.m. The total communal amenity space at the rear of the site comprises some 303sq.m. It is considered that the proposed dormer windows would relate in scale and design to the roof in which it is to be installed Neighbouring Amenity Dwellings in Rose Valley back onto the side boundary of the application site. Whilst the proposal would include new rear windows that would be closer to those dwellings they would be at least about 20m from the rear wall of the extended building with windows at a very oblique angle and it is considered that unacceptable overlooking would not occur and the proposal would not be overbearing. Two windows, one at lower ground and one at ground floor, are proposed in the side elevation facing No. 33 Queens Road and these have been referred to in one of the neighbouring representations. Concern has been expressed that these windows would result in a loss of privacy to the conservatory area to the rear of No. 33. However the sloping nature of the site would result in the conservatory area being appreciably higher that the proposed lower ground floor window which would restrict views. The proposed ground floor window would be higher, but would be located further towards the front of the property adjacent to the single storey side extension at No. 33. It was also noted on the site visit that there is a conifer hedge between the application site and the neighbour at No. 33. For these reasons it is considered that only oblique views of the conservatory area would be possible from this window and these would be restricted by the Conifer hedge. Having regard to the above details it is considered that these windows would be unlikely to result in a detrimental loss of privacy to the occupiers of No. 33. A further matter raised in the neighbouring objections related to possible health and amenity issues resulting from the bin area which is proposed on the North Eastern boundary of the site. This area would be close to the rear garden and outside seating area at No. 5 Rose Valley. It is however considered that a bin store area with a high quality of design would be unlikely to result in any unacceptable loss of amenity to this outside seating area. Details of such a design could be required by condition. The proposed garages extending circa 17m down the boundary with Bakers Court would have a maximum height of 2.8m and would step down to follow the slope of the land. It is considered that this structure due to its scale and design would not unacceptably detract from the amenity area to the rear of Bakers Court through being overbearing. Weekly List 1457/11 Week Ending 01st October 2010

Highways 6 parking spaces are proposed in the form of a garage block on the boundary with Bakers Court. This equates to one parking space per flat. The Highway Authority raises an objection to the proposed development as the dimensions of the proposed garages and therefore the area available for parking within the site will not comply with the Essex County Council, parking standards and would be likely to lead to on street parking to the detriment of highway safety. However the Essex standards have not been adopted by Brentwood Borough Council and the garages would meet the sizes indicated in the Brentwood adopted standards. The application site is within easy walking distance of Brentwood Station as well as the Brentwood High Street which would further reduce the requirement for vehicle parking. In accordance with adopted standards a condition is recommended requiring the provision of cycle parking facilities. For these reasons it is considered that refusal of the proposed scheme based on the parking provision could not be substantiated. Other matters A further material consideration is the extant planning permission which was granted in October 2007 under BRW/996/2007. This application permits the conversion of the application property into 6 flats through the addition of a centrally located three storey rear extension with single storey extensions on either side. Parking for this 2007 scheme was to be provided in the form of 6 parking bays on the boundary with Bakers Court. It is considered that the current proposal represents an improved design when compared to the 2007 scheme. In light of the above, and subject to conditions set out below, it is considered that the proposal complies with the relevant Policies set out in the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan. 6.

Προποσαλσ Change of use of part of Holdens Wood for the use as a course for laser tag games.

3. Χονσυλτατιον Ρεσπονσεσ Αρβοριχυλτυραλιστ: The proposed use of the site will not adversely affect the long term health or viability of the woodland. The amount of use will be no more than any other public wood in the Borough. Ηιγηωαψσ: The Highways Authority has indicated that they would have a concern with the capacity of the car park when all the uses served by the car park would be operating simultaneously. 4. Νειγηβουρ Ρεσπονσεσ None 5. Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ The site is located within the Green Belt, a Country Wildlife Site and a Special Landscape Area. The application site includes the existing car park which serves the Kart Centre and other adjoining uses including a dry ski slope, driving range, restaurant and redundant leisure centre. The site area is approximately 1.13 hectares in area; the proposed area to be used by the public would be limited to the existing car park and pedestrian route to the assembly point consisting of a camouflage tent. The existing car park, cafe and lavatory facilities associated with the leisure centre would be used by visitors to the proposed development. The laser tag activities would not be visible from outside the woodland and unlike paintball, laser tag involves no projectiles which could result in damage to the woodland. The proposed course would be defined by a low post and rail fence which could in itself not require planning permission. No details have been submitted to indicate the proposed height of the fence. This can however be limited through a suitable condition limiting its height and design. No additional hardstanding or raised board walkways are proposed. One of the objectives of PPG2 is to provide opportunities for outdoor sport and outdoor recreation near urban areas, and local plan policy GB22 supports such an appropriate use in principle, subject to certain criteria. In this case it is considered that: i) the development would not have an unacceptable detrimental impact on other persons enjoyment of the countryside; ii) there would be no permanent loss of the best or most versatile agricultural land iii) given the comments of the Countryside Manager, there would be no unacceptable detrimental impact on a Country Wildlife site iv) there would be no unacceptably prominent ancillary facilities (such as floodlights, fencing, ancillary buildings). Weekly List 1457/15 Week Ending 01st October 2010

Policy GB2 requires that proposals for development in the Green Belt would not be harmful to its openness. The laser tag course would be contained within Holdens Wood with a low post and rail fence defining the boundaries while a camouflage tent would on occasion be used as a meeting point. It is considered that the development would have no material effect on the openness of the Green Belt or the character of the area in general. No objections are raised by the Council s Arboriculturalist in relation to the long term health or viability of the woodland. Car parking restrictions exist along Warley Gap, and the Highways Authority indicated that they would have a concern regarding the capacity of the car park during peak times when all the activities in Brentwood Park are operating. Having regard to the fact that the existing leisure centre is not operating at present it is considered that any traffic generated by the proposed use would be unlikely to result in the capacity of the car park being exceeded. However the re-opening of the leisure centre would be likely to place more pressure on the car park. It is considered that in the current circumstances it would be unreasonable to refuse permission based on the inadequacy of car parking; however it would be inappropriate to grant permission which could result in car parking overspilling from the site if all of its facilities were in use.

4. Νειγηβουρ Ρεσπονσεσ The property borders our garden and the extension will look immediately over our garden and be in full view of our house. This does not appear to be shown on the site plan accompanying the application. There will be considerable loss of our privacy and no doubt some effect on light, especially as the proposed extension will be only a matter of feet from the fence separating the properties, and the windows of the extension will look directly over our garden and into the rear of our house. The flat roof style is completely different to the rest of the chalet style house and will look out of keeping with the surrounding properties. Whilst it is true that the existing extension is already flat roof style, the proposed new extension doubles the size of the existing one and this results in a huge shoe box totally disproportionate to the size of the original building. The angle of the rear of the house against our property means that the extension will be on full view to us from every rear window of our house, with significant impact on amenity. 5. Συµµαρψ οφ Ισσυεσ The application property is two storey, detached dwelling with dormer windows to the front and a rear first floor, flat roof extension. The property is located within a residential area that comprises houses of various designs and ages. The enlargement of the front dormer window would create a wide, low pitched roof. This roof shape would be similar to the existing dormer window and it is considered that the resulting dormer window would not be overly dominant in the roof. As a result of the unique design of the dwelling, it is considered that this part of the proposal would not have a detrimental effect on the character and appearance of the area. The proposed extension would extend an existing 4m wide flat roof addition by and additional 2.2m. The detailing would match that of the existing extension and it is considered that in this case a flat roofed addition would not have a detrimental affect on the character or appearance of the dwelling. The existing projection is approximately 5m away from the boundary with no.194 Priests Lane and a first floor bedroom window overlooks the end of the rear garden of that property. The proposed extension would result in an additional window facing that garden from a distance of about 4m. Whilst the occupiers of the bedroom served by the new window would be able to overlook the end of the garden of No 194 it is considered that the additional window would not materially detract from the privacy of the occupiers of that property and the refusal of permission for this reason would not be justified. Having regard to the above it is considered that the proposal complies with Policies CP1 and H17 of the Brentwood Replacement Local Plan. 6.

2) The materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces of the extension hereby permitted shall match in colour and texture those used in the existing building. (Ρεασον: In the interests of amenity.) 3) M10 - Retention of window pattern 4) Drawing no. S01 and L01 dated August 2010. (Ρεασον: For the avoidance of doubt.) Informatives 1) Reason for approval: The proposal would accord with the development plan policies relevant to this proposal that are set out below. The Council has had regard to the concerns raised by a neighbouring resident but it is considered that any harm to living conditions that may result from the proposal would not be sufficient to justify the refusal of permission. 2) I11 - Policies related to approval 3) I8 - Accordance with approved plans 4 ΗΟΣΠΙΤΑΛ ΧΟΤΤΑΓΕΣ ΧΡΕΣΧΕΝΤ ΡΟΑ ΒΡΕΝΤΩΟΟ ΠΡΟΠΟΣΕ ΣΙΝΓΛΕ ΣΤΟΡΕΨ ΑΝ ΤΩΟ ΣΤΟΡΕΨ ΡΕΑΡ ΕΞΤΕΝΣΙΟΝΣ ΒΡΩ/556/2010 Ward: WEST Zoning: Residential Parish: Policies: CP1 Case Officer: Catherine Williams (Tel: 8/13 Week Date: 21st October 2010 01277 312617) 1.
