Representation ID: 256

Received: 09/06/2009

Respondent: Southend Borough Council

Representation Summary:

6.3.17 Lighting Strategy
Please consider adding a comment that the lighting strategy should demonstrate that the proposals will not have an adverse impact on residental amenity.
On page 37 after last paragraph there is a referene to 'see also Environmental Health Guidance-Creation of Residential Dwellings'. I assume this document was produced by private sector housing (PSH), it is recommended that the PSH section is consulted to make sure this advice is current if this has not already been done.

Respondent: Southend Borough Council

Representation Summary:

I could not see any where where it is emphasised that these options should be incorporated into the design and not left to be a condition, reference could be made to the local list and that this could be a reason to invalidate the application

Respondent: Southend Borough Council

Representation Summary:

mention a common design solution to prevent overlooking from roof terraces is to set the boundary in from the edge of the roof which removes the need for unsightly obscure panels whilst retaining views of the townscape - the prevention of overlooking can effectively be shown using cross sections

2.3.1.3 Internal Arrangements and Space Standards

Representation ID: 264

Received: 20/08/2009

Respondent: Southend Borough Council

Representation Summary:

this does not go so far as to state a standard for flat sizes (not room sizes) which I thought we were heading towards, maybe we could just adopt those as our standard, I know it is a common thought that the market should determine appropriate sizes however surely we could link the flat sizes to the delivery of a range of accommodation sizes which were identified in the background information that fed into the core strategy
