Minutes:
The Committee considered the report of the Head of Planning and Development.
The Chairman read out a statement on behalf of Councillor Kenward of Ulcombe Parish Council.
Contrary to the recommendation of the Head of Planning and Development, the Committee agreed to refuse permission. In making this decision, the Committee considered that the separate access constructed onto Lenham Road, with the associated brick piers and paraphernalia, is visually incongruous, intrusive in the landscape and has a harmful impact on the rural character of the road and visual amenity contrary to policies SP17, DM15 and DM30 of the Maidstone Borough Local Plan 2017. The Committee also wished to add an informative advising the applicant that the rest of the application is acceptable subject to the conditions proposed.
RESOLVED: That permission be refused and the Head of Planning and Development be given delegated powers to finalise the wording of the reason for refusal and the informative which will include the issues summarised above.
