Bellway Homes received full planning permission on appeal for the development of 421 homes at Land West of Church Road, Otham, Kent ME15 8SB.

Two conditions were included in the Inspector’s report relating to the provision of a cycle ramp (ramp) and pedestrian linkway (linkway), the details of which were approved by planning committee.

Both the ramp and linkway are to be constructed on Council land and will thereafter become the responsibility of the Council.

The proposed works do not form part of any S106 Agreement. The provision of the ramp and linkway has therefore been reached by negotiation subject to Cabinet approval.

This matter was to be considered by the Corporate Services PAC before being passed to the Executive.
