Minutes:

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

 

Councillor McLoughlin (Visiting Member) 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 felt that the proposal represented a significant extension into the open countryside and therefore to the built form of Yalding and by reason of its mass and design and associated loss of hedgerows, trees and other natural features would cause harm to the character and appearance of the open countryside and fail to represent good design, contrary to policies ENV28 and ENV41 of the Maidstone Borough-Wide Local Plan 2000 and Central Government Advice contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

RESOLVED:  That permission be refused for the following reason:

 

The proposal represents a significant extension into the open countryside and therefore to the built form of Yalding and by reason of its mass and design and associated loss of hedgerows, trees and other natural features would cause harm to the character and appearance of the open countryside and fail to represent good design, contrary to policies ENV28 and ENV41 of the Maidstone Borough-Wide Local Plan 2000 and Central Government Advice contained in the National Planning Policy Framework.
