Minutes:

The Committee considered the report of the Head of Development Management.

 

The Head of Development Management advised the Committee that the Planning Inspectorate had recently dismissed an appeal against refusal of application 21/504236/FULL for redevelopment of buildings on the site (including Grain Store, Implement Store, Granary and Threshing Barn) and erection of 6 no. dwellings including associated works and parking.  The main reason for refusal, and the Inspector agreed, was that the proposal was clearly contrary to Policy SP17 of the Maidstone Borough Local Plan 2017, and there was a need to be consistent in decision-making.

 

Councillor Heaton of Hunton Parish Council, Mr Powell, for the applicant, and Councillor Webb (Visiting Member) addressed the meeting.

 

RESOLVED:  That permission be refused for the reasons set out in the report with the informative set out in the report.
