The Chairman and Councillors Prendergast and Spooner stated that they had been lobbied.

 

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

 

Mr Barrett, an objector, and Councillor Adkinson (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, by virtue of its proximity to site boundaries and lack of boundary landscaping would result in a visually incongruous built form harmful to the character and appearance of the surrounding area contrary to policies SP1 and DM1 of the Maidstone Borough Local Plan and the NPPF 2012.

 

RESOLVED:  That permission be refused for the following reason:

 

The proposal, by virtue of its proximity to site boundaries and lack of boundary landscaping would result in a visually incongruous built form harmful to the character and appearance of the surrounding area contrary to policies SP1 and DM1 of the Maidstone Borough Local Plan and the NPPF 2012.
