Minutes:

The Committee considered the report of the Head of Planning and Development.

 

In presenting the application, the Team Leader, Development Management, advised the Committee that:

 

·  Since the publication of the agenda, a further representation had been received from a local resident objecting strongly to the application on the basis that it would result in an increase in on-road parking and on-pavement parking in Tollgate Way and make use of the pavement in the vicinity impracticable.  Nine bedrooms on the same plot was out of keeping with surrounding properties and would impact severely on access to and egress from surrounding properties. 

 

·  These comments had been considered, the issues had been addressed in the report, and the recommendation remained unchanged.

 

Councillor Hinder, attending the meeting remotely, read out a statement on behalf of Boxley Parish Council and then addressed the Committee in his capacity as Ward Member.

 

RESOLVED:

 

1.  That permission be granted subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the report with the amendment of condition 15 (Landscape Scheme) to specify that the boundary hedging to Tollgate Way shall include native Dogwood and native Purging Buckthorn.

 

2.  That the Head of Planning and Development be given delegated powers to finalise the wording of the amended condition and to amend any other conditions as a consequence.

 

Voting:  10 – For  0 – Against  1 – Abstention

 

Note:  Having stated that she was a Member of Boxley Parish Council which had made representations on this application, Councillor Brindle did not participate in the discussion or the voting.
