Councillor Webb withdrew from the Council Chamber during consideration of this item, having declared a prejudicial interest.
The Planning Services Manager presented the application for the installation of a sculpture comprising galvanised steel with polished stainless-steel concave shapes on a 1.5-ton base/foundation consisting of a seabed sandstone block and a galvanised steel box structure filled with pebbles (amended description).
Two additional objection letters were received from neighbours raising concerns about how the sculpture will weather, given its coastal location. Residents raised concerns that the sculpture if not maintained could become an eyesore. Following these concerns, an additional informative note (No.4) is proposed regarding maintenance of the structure.
Councillors were shown plans, elevations, artists impressions and photos of the location and design of the structure. The sculpture would stand in the green area, between the planting beds along the promenade. It would be situated 9m away from the street and 1.5m away from the pathway. It will be facing the sea. There are listed buildings on the opposite side of the road.
Councillors discussed the design, location, and maintenance of the sculpture. ESCC Highways haven’t replied to the consultation request about the possible glare in the required timeframe. To mitigate the risk of the glare, the reflective part of the sculpture will be facing the sea. The structure is designed as maintenance-free with the galvanised steel element estimated to last for a minimum of 50 years. In case of vandalism, the sculpture can be removed for maintenance.
Councillor Beaver proposed approval of the recommendation with the additional informative note (No.4), seconded by Councillor Cox.

Proposal
Formation of a roof terrace on existing flat roof at first floor level at the rear of the property.
Application No
HS/FA/20/00930
Conservation Area
Yes - St. Leonards East
Listed Building
No
Public Consultation
Yes - 6 objection letters received
Councillor Webb returned to the Council Chamber.
The Planning Services Manager presented the application for the formation of a roof terrace on the existing flat roof at the first floor level at the rear of the property. The site comprises a 3 storey Victorian property which had been subdivided into flats. The application relates to the first floor only. A roof terrace is already located at the second floor level which incorporates a clear glazing screen.
The councillors were shown plans, elevations, and photos of the application site. The proposal includes a privacy screen on the side as there is a balcony on the adjacent side. Neighbouring properties either side incorporate balconies at both first and second floor level. The proposed terrace is not considered to create a significant difference in the existing situation as there is a lot of mutual overlooking going on as the buildings are located quite close together. It is not considered that the proposal will harmfully affect the amenities of the neighbouring buildings and the character of the area.
Councillor Roberts proposed approval of the recommendation seconded by Councillor Beaver.
RESOLVED (unanimously) that the permission be granted subject to the following conditions:
1. The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of

112020/02/03/E, 112020/03/01/D and 112020/03/02/F
3. With the exception of internal works the building works required to carry out

The Planning Services Manager presented the application for the Installation of a further length of security fencing to the east boundary, to enclose the rear storage areas with the museum (including the removal of the existing fence panel and post in the area between the garage of the neighbour at No.12 Ellis Close and the existing security gate along the eastern boundary).
The councillors were shown location plans, photographs of the site, and elevations showing existing and proposed. The existing security fence is made of wire mesh which has low visual impact. The proposed extension will be of similar height and materials. The aim is to provide additional security which is needed for the museum. No harm is considered to arise to neighbouring amenity or the character of the area.
