The Local Planning Authority is not satisfied that the applicant has adequately met the exceptions tests for creating residential accommodation for a rural worker in the countryside as set out in Annex A of Planning Policy Statement No 7 and policy P6/8 of the Tonbridge and Malling Borough Local Plan 1998. As such the proposal would have resulted in an inappropriate dwelling within the countryside and the Strategic Gap, also contrary to policies RS5 of the Kent Structure Plan 1996 and P2/18 of the Tonbridge and Malling Borough Local Plan 1998. 2. Given that there is no justification for rural worker residential accommodation in this location, the proposed development would harm the landscape character of the Special Landscape Area, contrary to policy P3/6 of the Tonbridge and Malling Borough Local Plan 1998. |
