About this application

This is a planning application at 194 Thorndon Avenue West Horndon Essex CM13 3TP. Brentwood has handled 2,946 applications of this type. This one was decided in 58 days. There has been 1 other application at this address. In the past year there have been 1 application across Burnham On Crouch South. We hold 842 applications in total for the CM13 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would by virtue of its form, design and siting appear cramped and discordant in its townscape context and introduce a prominent and incongruous element into the street scene which would adversely affect the appearance and character of the area in conflict with Policies BE14 and NE07 of the Brentwood Local Plan 2022 and paragraph 135 of the NPPF.
  2. The proposal would result in a significantly reduced garden area for no.194 Thorndon Avenue resulting in material harm to the amenity of the occupiers of this dwelling and thereby conflicts with the aims of Policies HP06 and NE07 of the Brentwood Local Plan 2022, the Essex Design Guide and paragraph 135 (f) of the NPPF.
  3. The proposal does not demonstrate that the development would be safe for its lifetime and prevent increased flood risk elsewhere and fails to provide a Sequential Test. The proposal does not include measures to minimise and mitigate surface water runoff. The proposal thereby conflicts with Policies NE09 and BE05 of the Brentwood Local Plan 2022 and with the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
