(1) SUMMARY<br />
This application by Housing Services seeks to improve security at the existing<br />
Langworth Drive sheltered housing complex through improvements to the<br />
boundary fencing. This has been in response to incidents <strong>of</strong> criminal activity and<br />
anti-social behaviour at the complex, in addition to preventing the use <strong>of</strong><br />
Langworth Drive as an informal pedestrian thoroughfare. It is also anticipated that<br />
the proposed access gate will prevent parking problems caused by persons using<br />
Langworth Drive as free parking for adjacent Uxbridge Road businesses.<br />
The proposed works include the erection <strong>of</strong> a powder coated, galvanised fence<br />
with electrically operated gates along the front boundary, in addition to increasing<br />
existing fence heights along strategic portions <strong>of</strong> the remaining boundaries by the<br />
addition <strong>of</strong> railings, timber trellis or plastic coated chain mesh to existing<br />
closeboard and brick fences.<br />
It is considered that the proposed development works are acceptable. The<br />
design, siting and height <strong>of</strong> the proposed fencing is not considered to significantly<br />
affect the amenity <strong>of</strong> neighbouring occupiers or the street scene in general.<br />
Planning permission is recommended.<br />
