The
Committee considered the report of the Head of Development
Management.
In
introducing the application, the Senior Planning
Officer:
·
Sought delegated authority to amend proposed
condition 11 (Flood Resistance and Resilience Measures) to include
the wider site as it only related to the building itself;
and
·
Advised the Committee that an additional
representation had been received raising concerns about the safety
of the access. This issue had been
addressed in the Committee report, but the applicant could be
required to submit sight lines for the access by way of a
condition.
Ms
Williams, an objector, Councillor Sharp of Staplehurst Parish
Council, and Mr Jenner, for the applicant, addressed the
meeting.
RESOLVED: That consideration of this
application be deferred to:
·
Seek further arboricultural information on tree
removal and the impact of the proposed development on retained
trees (if any); and
·
Negotiate with the applicant regarding the
submission of an ecological method statement for the dredging of
the ditch and pond given the potential to affect protected
species.
