Representation ID: 19960

Received: 30/04/2010

Respondent: Mr David Grew

Agent: Mr David Grew

Representation Summary:

Strongly disagree with wording contained in the pre-amble that a dwelling with an unsound roof constitutes a derelict property. The Council view would not be upheld by case law.
It would be more beneficial to the appearance of the Green Belt if the Council was less restrictive in terms of increase in floorspace and roof height. Steeper pitched roofs are more typical of the Essex vernacular and far more attracive visually.
