Planning application
11 Carruthers Drive Runwell Wickford Essex SS11 7EY
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
The proposal comprises the construction of a freestanding raised timber access platform adjacent to the rear elevation of the existing dwellinghouse. The platform will measure approximately 6.4 metres in length and 1.008 metres in width, with a finished floor level approximately 1.14 metres above the existing garden level to align with the threshold level of the existing rear doors. The proposal includes associated steps providing access between the platform and the rear garden, together with handrails and balustrading around the platform and stairway for safety purposes. The structure will be freestanding and positioned immediately adjacent to the rear of the dwellinghouse. No new vehicular or pedestrian access is proposed. No new street, hardstanding, boundary enclosure or alteration to existing site access arrangements is proposed. The development is intended to provide safe access and egress between the existing dwellinghouse and the rear garden due to the significant change in level between the rear door threshold and the garden.
