Refused on 13 Aug 2026 · Development Control Committee · Last checked 13 Aug 2026
Planning committee
Decided by Southend Planning Committee on 12 Aug 2026.
Refused
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because the development was acceptable in design, amenity and highway terms, subject to conditions.
- Environmental Health and other consultees raised no objections, and no neighbouring representations were received.
- The committee refused permission because the extraction system was visually intrusive and harmful to the building and surrounding area.
