TM/08/00700/FL & TM/08/00701/LB - Mote Farm, Mote Road, Ivy Hatch |
(A) Change of use of part of old farmyard to a gardeners' compound including minor alterations, erection of glass house, forcing pits, replacement gates/fences plus foul sewer connection, and (B) Listed Building Application: Minor alterations to existing building including replacement "like for like" gates/fence at Mote Farm, Mote Road, Ivy Hatch. RESOLVED: That (1) application TM/08/00700/FL be REFUSED for the following reasons:- 1. The proposed change of use and associated alterations and built development, particularly the introduction of a large greenhouse, will harm the setting of a listed building and the character and appearance of a Conservation Area and will be detrimental to the essential character of this historic farmyard. The proposal would therefore be contrary to PPG15 (Planning and the Historic Environment); Policies QL1, QL6 and QL8 of the Kent and Medway Structure Plan 2006; Policies CP7 and CP24 of the Tonbridge and Malling Borough Core Strategy 1998 and saved Policy 6/14 of the Tonbridge and Malling Borough Local Plan 1998. 2. The Local Planning Authority is not satisfied that the development will not result in a fragmentation of an agricultural land holding in such a way as to damage its future viability. Similarly, the Local Planning Authority is not satisfied that the development will not create a need for replacement agricultural building(s) that could harm the openness and visual amenities of the Green Belt and the landscape character of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The proposal would therefore be contrary to PPG2 (Green Belts); PPS7 (Sustainable Development in Rural Areas); Policies SS2, SS8 and EN4 of the Kent and Medway Structure Plan 2006; Policies CP3, CP7, CP14and CP24 of the Tonbridge and Malling Borough Core Strategy 1998 and saved Policies 6/14 and 6/16 of the Tonbridge and Malling Borough Local Plan 1998. and (2) application TM/08/00701/LB be REFUSED listed building consent for the following reason:- 1. There is no justification for the proposed alterations in the absence of a planning permission for a change of use and PPG15 (Planning And The Historic Environment) states that it generally preferable if related applications for planning permission and for listed building are considered concurrently. [Speakers: Mr J Edwards, Chairman of Ightham Parish Council; Mr A Bristow, Miss C Owlett, Mr J Owlett, Mr A Patmore, Mrs A Patmore, Ms S Reynolds, Dr A Coumbe, Mrs S Simpson, Mr D Wetton (on behalf of the Ramblers Association), Mr A Ansell on behalf of Mr A Tuckwell, Mr D Prichard, Mr M Williams on behalf of Stuart Page and Mrs J M Turner - members of the public; Ms B Gillow and Ms M Morgan on behalf of the applicant] |
