Minutes:
All Members except Councillors Butler, Vizzard and J A Wilson stated that they had been lobbied.
The Committee considered the report and the urgent update reports of the Head of Planning and Development.
Councillor Evans of Boughton Monchelsea Parish Council (in support) and Mr Hawkins, for the applicant, addressed the meeting.
Contrary to the recommendation of the Head of Planning and Development, the Committee agreed that subject to no new material planning issues being raised in response to the advertisement of the development as a departure from the Development Plan, the Head of Planning and Development be given delegated powers to grant permission subject to conditions to be finalised by the Head of Planning and Development; the conditions to include, inter alia, the retention of trees and the protection of the landscaping in perpetuity.
In making this decision, Members considered that the site was in a sustainable location and no landscape harm would result, such that the proposal would be in accordance with the sustainable principles of the NPPF as set out in Paragraphs 7 and 14 and Policies ENV28 and ENV35 of the Maidstone Borough-Wide Local Plan 2000.
RESOLVED: That subject to no new material planning issues being raised in response to the advertisement of the development as a departure from the Development Plan, the Head of Planning and Development be given delegated powers to grant permission subject to conditions to be finalised by the Head of Planning and Development; the conditions to include, inter alia, the retention of trees and the protection of the landscaping in perpetuity.
