Planning News

Planning 

Report from Trevor Lawrence

1A Sylvan Avenue:  No Change from last meetings over the last year.  The application for 2 x 3 storey, 8-bed detached dwellings, involving demolition of existing detached dwelling and annex, is still awaiting a decision at the time of writing.

Senior Care Home, off Nelmes Way:   Work on the Site has apparently stopped again – no activity there for the past few months.

Garland Way:  A further application has been submitted for approval of reserved matters (scale, appearance & landscaping) following outline approval in December 2021for the erection of 3 detached houses with garages, with access of Garland Way, on part of the former College car park.

16 Nelmes Way:  The third application for a “5-bedroom” detached house, which was refused by the Council on 3 February, has now been appealed.  We have not been notified officially by the Council, but when we are, we shall renew our objection to the Planning Inspectorate.

Copthorne Gardens: Following the removal of trees in the Green Belt in 2021, legal action was taken against the developer, who has subsequently been found guilty at Barking Magistrates Court.  We await further details.

Wingletye Lane:  Removal of woodland trees and hedgerows:  We contacted the Council to ensure that the Site, which is close to a school, was made safe because of the broken fence and the increasing amount of rubbish being thrown onto the Site.  We have had no response from the Council and, at the time of writing, no planning application has been submitted.

Imperial Motors, 63-65 (next door to Wykeham House) and 69-71 Butts Green Road:  2 applications have been submitted. (1) for the Demolition of the existing building at 63-65 and the construction of 3 storey commercial building (Use Class E) and associated landscaping and parking; and (2)  the demolition of the existing building at 69-71 and the construction of 3 storey commercial building comprising a car showroom (sui generis) at ground floor and office space (Use Class E) on first and second floors, and associated landscaping and parking.

The file for the development at 63-65 is very large and is difficult to obtain from the Council’s website (a concerned resident who has a copy will be sending them to TL). The plans for 69-71 do not appear to show an appropriate level of parking. Both proposed developments appear to be 2-storeys with extensions into the roof space and with large gable ends.  Councillor Garrard has called the application in.

Transport Report

16 September 2023

Report from Barry Smith:

It was noted that, apart from the Elizabeth Line, there are still some trains terminating at Liverpool Street and stopping in their previous position at ground level.

 

Councillor Prince reported that a possible tram system mooted for Havering was very unlikely to go ahead.  He noted that TfL’s “Super Loop” will stop in Barking & Dagenham.  His proposal for a London East Orbital route was rejected but he is still seeking to obtain some orbital route which includes Havering.

16 September 2023
Highways:  Report from Glynis Youngs:

 

I have not had any new communications from residents in the last month.

From the August meeting I said I would continue to find out whether it is free to park in Council run car parks if the machines aren’t working.

On 4th September I received a response the Resolution and Response Officer via Councillor David Godwin which read:-

The Parking Manager has advised that where Pay & Display machines are inoperable and officers are unable to carry out repairs, the machine will be covered over and a sign displayed to advise of free parking, for the maximum stay period. If there are other, working machines nearby then free parking will not apply.

Havering is currently tendering a contract for the replacement of Pay & Display machines. It is anticipated that new machines will be installed in November/December 2023.

 

Therefore, I suggest that unless all the machines have been covered and a note added it is not guaranteed that it would be free to park if a machine isn’t working as the Council may not be aware of the problem.  You would need to search for any other units in that car parking area to get a ticket.  If none of them are working, it may be better to find somewhere else to park and advise the Council about the non-operational machines.  I am still concerned about the new Pay & Display system which I’d heard would be cashless.  It may disadvantage a section of the local residents who do not have a phone, understand Apps or have a bank card of some description.

The major talking point in the last few weeks has been the extension of the ULEZ.  It appears there is an interactive map available online which shows where the cameras are, including those that are not operational and those without a camera, at the moment.  It is called Julie’s ULEZ Map.  There is no guarantee that you will be able to avoid the cameras as I have been told there are mobile screening units which could still catch you.  Given that the system has been in for nearly 2 weeks, I know a couple of people who feel a bit trapped at home for fear of using their cars which are non-compliant.  This appears to be affecting their mental health.

An update on the PCNs I mentioned last month.  To date there has been no response from Havering to the appeals.  The allowed 56 days to reply expires mid to late September.  However, just to reiterate on the matter of a yellow box junction.  The Regulations require the exit from the box to be clear of stationary vehicles when the box is entered.  If the exit becomes blocked after entry, for any number of reasons, then it is not a violation.

 

I have been advised by email that the overhanging foliage mentioned last month has been addressed.  I have not been going out as much but visited the locations before the meeting to find that the Garland Way and Ardleigh Green Road sites have not been dealt with.  I passed this information on to Councillor Keith Prince after the meeting.

Computer Scam BEWARE

14 June 2017

logoMPS (2)

 

Recently a member of the EPAGRA  committee  received a phone call purporting to come from BT who informed them they had a problem with their internet access. They told the caller that their account was not in fact with BT but another internet provider.

The response was that BT owned the cables that provided the internet and if the member did not buy  a piece of software they would have their internet cut off and they would be blacklisted by the internet companies.

The committee member  very sensibly hung up and did not agree to anything.

BEWARE THIS IS A SCAM  AND ALL THESE PEOPLE WANT TO DO IS TO SELL YOU A PIECE OF SOFTWARE YOU DO NOT NEED.

Dear Ward Member,

I would like to bring to your attention that at present due to the improving weather we are experience a rise in artifice burglaries.  On this occasion unknown males are attending the home address of our venerable elderly victims who mostly live on their own stating that they are doing work at the neighbouring property and require access to their garden in order to carry out the works, or the unknown males are persuading them that they had an appointment for that day to attend and carry out works in the garden.  If access is granted whilst one of the males is showing the resident what work they will be doing the other males they are in company with are entering the property and stealing any cash and jewellery they can find.

Can I please ask that you remain extra vigilant and should you know any elderly or vulnerable people could you please look out for them so that we can try to ensure that nobody else falls for this scam.

Lastly could I please ask that should you receive any leaflets regarding tree surgery  through your door could you please forward them to myself so that I can look into the company to ensure that they are legitimate.

Many Thanks in advance for your assistance.  Should you have any questions then please do not hesitate in contacting me.

Regards,
