Public Consultation

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.
