About this application

This is a planning application for a garage at 39 Hadleigh Road Leigh-on-sea Essex SS9 2DY. Southend has handled 5,226 applications of this type. This one was decided in 57 days. The site is in the Leigh conservation area. There have been 5 other applications at this address. We hold 2,525 applications in total for the SS9 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed car port, by reason of its scale, lack of subservience and siting would be a prominently incongruous and dominant feature within the streetscene, resulting in demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of the site, streetscene and Leigh Conservation area. This is unacceptable and contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2026), Core Strategy (2007) Policies KP2 and CP4, Policies DM1, DM3 and DM5 of the Development Management Document (2015) and advice contained within the Design and Townscape Guide (2009).

From the council's decision notice.
