Redevelopment to provide integrated highway depot compromising offices, garaging, salt barn and storage areas with associated car parking and landscaping at The Poplars, London Road, Wrotham.

(2) the County Council is asked to consider whether changes could be made to the design of the upper part of the south-west elevation of the office block, in the interests of privacy of neighbouring residential properties yet retaining an adequate internal environment to the office and to the salt barn's height and design such that it be more traditional in appearance and therefore more in keeping with the locality.

The Travel Plan should be the subject of early consultation with TMBC and Wrotham Parish Council.

(6) The County Council is asked to engage in early discussion with Wrotham Parish Council and local residents in order to investigate opportunities for mitigation of any detrimental impact of the development, as far as this proves possible. |
