On 25 March 2024, the Council served a
Planning Enforcement Notice in respect of unauthorised works at
Manningtree Station comprising: Building operations to extend
existing single storey deck over existing ground level car parking.
Engineering works to increase land levels, install a sheet pile
retaining wall, drainage, hardstanding, CCTV and lighting columns
to facilitate the extension to existing ground level car parking.
Replacement of and increase in number of existing lighting columns
covering existing ground level car parking.
Part of the Council's justification for serving an Enforcement
Notice was its view at the time that the works were 'EIA
Development' i.e. triggering the requirement for Environmental
Impact Assessment (due to visual impact on the Dedham Vale National
Landscape); meaning that the works could not be classed as
'permitted development' which, under normal circumstances, under
the general Permitted Development Order (GPDO) 2015 would allow a
railway undertaker to carry out certain works without the need for
planning permission.
Following the serving of the Enforcement Notice, Greater Anglia Ltd
both lodged an application for Judicial Review and an appeal to the
Secretary of State - from whom an EIA screening opinion was also
sought. The EIA Screening Direction from the Secretary of State
received on 29 May 2024 determined that the works were not EIA
Development, contrary to the Council's position.
For the reasons set out in the delegated report, the Secretary of
State's Screening Direction has led Officers to determine that it
is no longer expedient to continue with enforcement action in
respect of the works and that the Enforcement Notice should be
withdrawn.
Decision Maker: Director (Planning)
Decision published: 24/06/2024
Effective from: 24/06/2024
Decision:
To formally withdraw the Planning Enforcement
Notice in relation to Manningtree Railway Station.

Officer decision to accept two Department for
levelling Up Housing and Communities (DLUHC) digital funding
streams, as follows;
1)DLUHC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) participation funding
totalling £65,000. The Council was approached by DLUHC to
participate in their local government CAF pilot work across twenty
local authorities nationally. Our engagement was principally based
upon previous successful digital engagement works with DLUHC.
2)A DLUHC Digital Planning Improvement funding totalling
£100,000.
There is no accompanying report.
The DLUHC CAF pilot work is a modest additional resourcing
extension to the already programmed (and resourced) cyber-security
CAF governance challenge work that forms part of the
Council’s annual cyber-security self-assessment review
against a range of National Cyber security centre mandatory
standards and best-practice.
The Council was approached by DLUHC to participate in their local
government CAF pilot work with participation across twenty local
authorities nationally. Our engagement was principally reputational
and based upon previous successful digital engagement works with
DLUHC.
The CAF cyber-security self-assessment is currently mandatory for
critical national infrastructure providers and central government
and is anticipated to become mandatory for local government within
the medium-term.
The DLUHC digital improvement funding will part-fund a
collaborative programme of works with other Essex local authority
members of the Essex Digital Partnership (EDP). The programme is at
the Phase One investigative/ feasibility stage with funding to be
committed to the Phase two Delivery Phase.
