Demolition of 1.2 tall front boundary fence, post and gravel boards.

The Committee heard that this application was before the Planning Committee as the applicant was employed by Tendring District Council and the recommendation was one of approval, as required by the delegation arrangements and for no other reason.

Members were told that, the proposal sought planning permission to remove a 1.2m high close board fence, post and gravel boards. Permission was required as the fence exceeds 1m.

The Committee was made aware that, the proposed works would result in a minor enhancement to the character and appearance of the area, whilst posing no detrimental harm to existing neighbouring amenities.

The Committee had before it the published Officer report containing the key planning issues, relevant planning policies, planning history, any response from consultees, written representation received and a recommendation of approval.

At the meeting, an oral presentation was made by the Council’s Head of Planning and Building Control (JP-G) in respect of the application.

There were no updates for the Committee in relation to this application.

There were no speakers on this application.

There were no questions to Officers from Members on this application.
