Minutes:
Councillor Ash stated that he had been lobbied.
The Committee considered the report and the urgent update report of the Head of Planning and Development.
Miss Hill, for objectors, Councillor Spooner of Bearsted Parish Council (against) and Mr Fowler, for the applicant, addressed the meeting.
Contrary to the recommendation of the Head of Planning and Development, the Committee agreed to refuse permission. In making this decision, Members considered that the proposed dwelling, by way of its scale, siting and proportions, would result in a cramped form of development out of character with the grain and surrounding pattern of development and the terrace it would adjoin, and result in the erosion of open space. For these reasons it would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area contrary to advice within the National Planning Policy Framework 2012.
RESOLVED: That permission be refused for the following reason:
The proposed dwelling, by way of its scale, siting and proportions, would result in a cramped form of development out of character with the grain and surrounding pattern of development and the terrace it would adjoin, and result in the erosion of open space. For these reasons it would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area contrary to advice within the National Planning Policy Framework 2012.
