Summary
The applicant is seeking listed building consent to make internal and external changes to their home at 8 Hollow Cottages. The exact nature of those changes is not described in detail — the application simply states "internal and external alterations to dwelling". The property is a Grade II listed building and sits within the Purfleet Conservation Area. St Stephen's Church is about a minute's walk away. Purfleet Primary Academy is a few minutes' walk. The Inner Thames Marshes SSSI — a nationally protected wildlife site — lies within 500 metres of the site. Three documents that councils typically require for this type of application appear to be missing: a Heritage Impact Assessment, a Heritage Statement, and a Flood Risk Assessment. The council may ask for these before the application can be properly considered.
What you can do
You can comment on this application on the Thurrock Council planning portal using reference 26/00190/LBC. The council can consider the impact on the listed building's character and fabric, effects on the Purfleet Conservation Area, and the completeness of the submitted documents. They cannot consider personal matters unrelated to the physical effects of the works.
