The
Committee considered the report of the Head of Development
Management.
In
introducing the application, the Principal Planning Officer advised
the Committee that Lenham Parish Council had now withdrawn its
objection raised previously. The
applicant had expressed concern about the requirement for 20%
biodiversity net gain and would prefer the national requirement
which was to achieve at least 10% biodiversity net
gain. The Officers had advised that the
requirement reflected the emerging Local Plan policy for 20%
biodiversity net gain.
RESOLVED: That subject to:
A. The prior
completion of a legal agreement in such terms as the Head of Legal
Partnership may advise to secure the Heads of Terms set out in the
report and the prior payment of monitoring fees of £3,060;
and
B. The conditions
and informatives set out in the report, the Head of Development
Management be given delegated powers to grant permission and to be
able to settle or amend any necessary planning conditions in line
with the matters set out in the recommendation and as resolved by
the Planning Committee.
