Minutes:

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

 

In presenting the report, the Development Manager advised the Committee that he wished to amend the recommendation set out in the urgent update report to read:

 

That subject to the expiry of the 21 day notice period and no new planning issues being raised which have not previously been considered in the report, the Head of Planning and Development be given delegated powers to grant permission subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the report as amended by the urgent update report.

 

Councillor Riordan of Staplehurst Parish Council and Mr Collins, for the applicant, addressed the meeting.

 

RESOLVED:

 

1.  That subject to the expiry of the 21 day notice period and no new planning issues being raised which have not previously been considered in the report, the Head of Planning and Development be given delegated powers to grant permission subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the report, as amended by the urgent update report, with:

 

  (a)  The amendment of condition 7 (Landscaping Renewal Period) to specify that any trees or plants within the approved landscape scheme, which, within a period of 10 (not 5) years from the completion of the development die, are removed, or become seriously damaged or diseased, shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of similar size and species.  The reason for the longer period being to balance the intensification of use of the site by strengthening landscaping particularly adjacent to the access track where visibility from the public highway is greatest.

 

  (b)  An additional informative advising the applicant that the proposed hedgerows should incorporate specimen hedgerow trees which should be Wild Service.

 

2.  That the Head of Planning and Development be given delegated powers to finalise the wording of amended condition 7 and the additional informative and to amend any other conditions as a consequence.
