Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of 22 Vaux Avenue with regard to daylight, sunlight and outlook
  • the integrity of Essex Coast Habitats Sites

What decided it

The existing boundary treatments have fundamentally altered the site's visual character from open to enclosed, reducing its visual importance to the locality and thereby allowing the proposed development to proceed without harming the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
