Minutes:

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

 

In presenting the application, the Development Manager advised the Committee that additional comments had been received from Staplehurst Parish Council withdrawing the following sentence from their original consultation response:

 

It is also disappointing to note that the applicant has already removed much of the hedge and trees shielding the site from the road, resulting in the development site being obtrusive from the road and impacting on the street scene.

 

Mr Birkby, the applicant, addressed the meeting remotely.

 

RESOLVED: 

 

1.  That permission be refused for the reason set out in the report with an informative advising the applicant to discuss with the Officers how his needs might be accommodated in a policy compliant way.

 

2.  That the Head of Planning and Development be given delegated powers to finalise the wording of the informative.
