Minutes:
Councillors English, Powell and Prendergaststated that they had been lobbied.
The Committee considered the report and the urgent update reports of the Head of Planning and Development.
Mr Beale, an objector, Councillor Dean from Harrietsham Parish Council and Councillor J Sams (Visiting Member) addressed the meeting.
Contrary to the recommendation of the Head of Planning and Development, the Committee agreed to refuse permission by reason of the plot sizes, the coverage of plots, lack of available space for landscaping, loss of boundary hedging, and loss of open space would result in a cramped form of over-development that would be unsympathetic, incongruous and harmful to the character and appearance of the area, and would result in the exacerbation of on-street car parking contrary to policy ENV6 of the Maidstone Borough-Wide Local Plan 2000; the National Planning Policy Framework 2012 and policies DM1, DM10, DM12 and DM27 of the Maidstone Borough Local Plan Publication May 2016 (Submitted version)
