Contrary to the recommendation of the Head of Planning and Development, the Committee agreed to refuse permission. In making this decision, Members felt that the proposals represented an overdevelopment of the site resulting in an overly urban appearance and resultant loss of landscaping that would be out of character and harmful to the street scene and Conservation Area contrary to policies ENV6 and ENV34 of the Maidstone Borough-Wide Local Plan 2000 and the NPPF.

The proposals represent an overdevelopment of the site resulting in an overly urban appearance and resultant loss of landscaping that would be out of character and harmful to the street scene and Conservation Area contrary to policies ENV6 and ENV34 of the Maidstone Borough-Wide Local Plan 2000 and the NPPF.
