Minutes:

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

Councillor Pyman of Headcorn Parish Council (against) addressed the meeting.

Contrary to the recommendation of the Head of Planning and Development, and the advice of the Development Manager that the proposed reason for refusal would not be sustainable at appeal, the Committee agreed to refuse permission. In making this decision, Members felt that the proposed conversion and new retail floorspace, due to insufficient provision of off-street car parking, would place increased pressure on local on-street car parking in this area with existing high on-street demand contrary to the requirements of the Kent Design Guide Review: Interim Guidance Note 3 (November 2008).

RESOLVED: That permission be refused for the following reason:

The proposed conversion and new retail floorspace, due to insufficient provision of off-street car parking, will place increased pressure on local on-street car parking in this area with existing high on-street demand contrary to the requirements of the Kent Design Guide Review: Interim Guidance Note 3 (November 2008).

Voting: 8 – For 2 – Against 1 - Abstention
