APPLICATION NO: 20/01608/HHA, 13 Warleywoods Crescent, Warley, Brentwood, Essex CM14 5JD, Proposed drop kerb/cross over to provide vehicular access from Crescent Road pdf icon PDF 366 KB

Additional documents:

Minutes:

This application is for a proposed dropped kerb/cross over to provide vehicular access from Crescent Road.  The application had been referred to the Committee at the request of Councillor Sarah Cloke for the following reason(s):

 

·         The application would set a dangerous precedent resulting in the destruction of communal green space/grass verge and change the character in the area;

 

·         Illegal widening of path in front of property had been undertaken.

 

The application was deferred from the meeting of 10th February to allow the Highways Authority to clarify their criteria on approval of applications for drop kerbs where the resident cannot confirm access between their property and the highway. 

 

Mr Gibson outlined the report.  Mr Johnstone, representing the Highways Authority, was also present at the meeting and addressed the Committee regarding the safety of the access and explaining the need for planning permission. Mr Johnstone could see no reason why permission could not be granted in terms of passed safety records.

 

Cllr J Cloke informed the Committee that he had a written statement from the TRO Manager of South Essex Parking Partnership confirming they would not be lifting the resident’s parking bay that crosses Crescent Road.

 

Ward Councillor S Cloke addressed the Committee in objection to the application and in particular resident’s concerns regarding the erosion of the green area.

 

Cllr Chilvers MOVED and Cllr Mynott SECONDED that the application be REFUSED.

 

Following debate Members voted as follows:

 

FOR:  Cllrs Dr Barrett, Chilvers, Fryd, Haigh, Keeble, Mynott and Reed (7)

 

AGAINST:  Cllrs Bridge, J Cloke, Jakobsson, McCheyne and Tanner (5)

 

ABSTAIN:  (0)

 

The application was REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

The development would result in the erosion of a pleasant greensward feature to the detriment of the visual amenity and the appearance of the area and in conflict with Local Plan Policy CP1.
