\n\n \n\n \n\nPLANNING APPLICATION NO. 08/01214/FULL TWO STOREY SIDE EXTENSION AT 20 DOWNS GROVE, BASILDON: PDF 117 KB
\nMinutes:
\nThe Committee considered a proposal for the erection of a\ntwo storey side extension, 2.4 metres in width, at 20 Downs Grove,\nBasildon.\u00c2\u00a0 It was advised that Development\nControl Guidelines provided that where a side extension adjoined a highway\n(i.e. on a corner plot), a distance of 2 metres would normally be required\nbetween the extension and the highway boundary.\u00c2\u00a0 However, it was felt that, in this instance, as the site was not\na normal \u00e2\u20ac\u02dccorner plot\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, the footpath was of limited width and the neighbouring\nproperty had already been extended to it, the development would not give rise\nto any appearance of unrelated terracing, or other harm to the character of the\narea or the street scene.
\n\n<![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]>
\n\nMembers discussed the application and several expressed the\nview that, should permission be granted, it should be conditional on the use of\nsimilar brickwork in the construction of the extension to that on the existing\nbuilding.

\n\nMinutes:
\nThe Committee considered a proposal for the erection of a\nfreestanding single storey retail kiosk of 160 square metres and a single\nstorey retail kiosk of 55 square metres (attached to Unit 4, Westgate Shopping\nPark) for uses falling within Classes A1/A2/A3 on land adjacent to Towngate\nTheatre and The Westgate Centre, Fodderwick, Basildon.\u00c2\u00a0 It was noted that the proposal was identical\nto a previously approved scheme, permission for which had recently expired.
\n\n<![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]>
\n\nMembers discussed the application and the majority expressed\nconcern for a number of reasons relating to impact on amenity including loss of\nlandscaping and trees, the effect on the visual impact of this area (being a\nkey gateway to the town centre) and the possible creation of an alleyway effect\nbetween the freestanding unit and the wall of the Towngate Theatre.

\n\nMinutes:
\nThe Committee considered a proposal to retain an existing\ndecked car park already sited over the existing car park area at the front\n(north side) of the supermarket building at Tesco Superstore, Hazelmere,\nPitsea.\u00c2\u00a0 It comprised a steel framework\nsupporting a plate steel deck and provided a stated 111 car parking spaces,\nalthough 114 were actually indicated on the submitted plans.\u00c2\u00a0 Access to the deck was via a ramp from the\nground level car park and it did not alter access into the site, nor impact on\nthe existing layout of the ground level car park.
\n\n<![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]>
\n\nIt was noted that temporary planning permission had\npreviously been granted for this car park, with an expiry date of 23 October\n2009, to provide replacement spaces for Tesco customers for the duration of\nplanned, essential highway maintenance works to the A13 flyover, which involved\nfencing off part of the car park under the flyover.\u00c2\u00a0 However, during the works already carried out, Essex County\nCouncil had identified additional works that were needed and works were now\nprogrammed to continue to 31 March 2009, with the possibility of a further\noverrun.\u00c2\u00a0 The application therefore\nsought retention of the car park deck until 30 June 2009.
\n\n<![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]>
\n\nMembers\nqueried whether the removal of the structure could be enforced at the end of\nthe temporary period and noted that a further application would be required for\nits retention. \u00c2\u00a0The Committee\nstressed that any such further application should be submitted before the\nexpiration of the temporary permission and not retrospectively, as previously.
