Current statusStatus not supplied
- Proposal
- Variation of condition 2, and 3 on MC/22/1567 /Appeal Ref: APP/A2280/D/22/3305549 for the uPVC panel to the flank elevation adjoining the attached neighbour constructed in facing brickwork to comply with Part B4 of the Building Regulations, as this elevation sits on the boundary and requires 60 minutes fire resistance. The brickwork matches the existing dwellinghouse rather than the uPVC-clad outbuilding, therefore conditions 2 and 3 both require variation.

Source: data.police.uk. Street-level locations are approximate and the data is updated monthly.
This is a count of reports, not a crime-rate score. Police.uk deliberately moves incident locations to nearby map points to protect privacy, so it should be used to understand the wider area rather than a particular house or street corner.

Useful to know
Nearby places and outdoor features: © OpenStreetMap contributors via Overpass. Prison points are cached in a local Place Keys dataset so ordinary proximity checks do not repeatedly call an external service.
Distances are straight-line estimates. Parking charges are shown only where the source explicitly marks a car park as free or paid; otherwise Place Keys leaves that detail out.

AIRCRAFT & AIRPORTS
Nearest major airport: London Southend Airport
London Southend Airport is about 14.9 miles away. Airport distance is a starting point only and does not show whether a home is under a flight path.
What does this mean?
Source: Defra strategic airport-noise mapping (2022) and airport location data. Airport distance is straight-line distance and does not mean a home is directly under a flight path.
This postcode is not in a strategic aircraft-noise band that we can quote from the national map. That does not guarantee you will never hear aircraft.
