All Members had been lobbied on this application.
The Committee considered the report of the Head of Planning and Development.
Mrs Davis, an objector, Councillor Powell of Harrietsham Parish Council, Mr Beck, for the applicant, and Councillor J Sams (Visiting Member) addressed the meeting.
RESOLVED: That consideration of this application be deferred to:
· Ask the applicant to agree to the removal of the existing septic tank from the site and any associated pollution;
· Ask the Environment Agency to consider the specific biomedical contamination impacts of a care home (the potential for effluent to contain a high proportion of medicines);
· Investigate how the generator backup system is managed to maintain connections to the pump house because of the sensitivity of the chalk streams and the River Len;
· Ask Natural England whether it has any concerns regarding the potential impact of the development on watercourses and ecology;
· Ascertain distances to watercourses/bodies (ponds and streams) (Condition 2.3.1 of the Environment Agency Permit EPR/LB3798VP) and seek further clarification from various consultees as to whether any adverse impacts arise from that proximity, including the potential impact on white-clawed crayfish and the Desmoulin’s whorl snail; and
· Seek the advice of Building Control regarding the management of the drainage field.
