All Members stated that they had been lobbied.

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

Mr Hann, for objectors, and Councillor Springett (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 proposed development by virtue of its height, scale, mass and overbearing impact would result in an unacceptable impact on the residential amenity of the adjacent properties either side, specifically on the conservatories and rear elevation windows, contrary to policies DM1 (iv) and DM9 of the Final Draft Maidstone Local Plan and the Residential Extensions SPD 2009.

RESOLVED: That permission be refused for the following reason:

The proposed development by virtue of its height, scale, mass and overbearing impact would result in an unacceptable impact on the residential amenity of the adjacent properties either side, specifically on the conservatories and rear elevation windows, contrary to policies DM1 (iv) and DM9 of the Final Draft Maidstone Local Plan and the Residential Extensions SPD 2009.
