Alleged Unauthorised Development 10/00111/UNAWKS - Napps Farm, Long Mill Lane, Platt |
Alleged Unauthorised Development at Napps Farm, Long Mill Lane, Platt. RESOLVED: That An Enforcement Notice be issued as set out below and copies be served on all interested parties. The Notice to take effect not less than 28 days from the date of service, subject to: • The concurrence of the Chief Solicitor, he being authorised to amend the wording of the Enforcement Notice as may be necessary. • In the event of an appeal against the Notice the Secretary of State and the appellant to be advised that the Local Planning Authority is not prepared to grant planning permission for the development the subject of the Enforcement Notice. ~Breach of Planning Control: The erection of a building within the curtilage of the property known as Napps Farm without the benefit of planning permission. ~Reasons For Issuing The Notice: The above breach of planning control has occurred within the last four years. The building is inappropriate development in the Green Belt and is harmful by reason of its inappropriateness and because of its detrimental impact upon the openness and visual amenities of the rural locality by reason of its height and bulk and because of its domination over the host dwelling. The building is also materially larger, in terms of footprint and volume, than the building that it replaced on this site. It is therefore contrary to PPG2 (Green Belts) and Policies CP1, CP3, CP14 and CP24 of the Tonbridge and Malling Borough Core Strategy 2007 and policy DC1 of the Managing Development and the Environment DPD. The Local Planning Authority is of the view that there are no adequate "very special circumstances" to justify this inappropriate development. ~Requirement: The building shown hatched on plan TMBC1 shall be demolished and all arisings shall be removed from the site. ~Period For Compliance: Six calendar months from the date the Notices takes effect. [Councillor Evans withdrew from the meeting before the discussion of this item.] |
