TM/11/02493/FL - land adjoining 260 Wateringbury Road, East Malling |
Change of use of the land to static holiday log cabin (caravan) site at land adjoining 260 Wateringbury Road, East Malling. RESOLVED: That the planning permission be APPROVED subject to (1) the reasons, conditions and informatives set out in the report of the Director of Planning, Transport and Leisure; and (2) the amendment of conditions 2, 3 and 8 to read as follows:- 2. The maximum number of caravans (log cabins) to be located at the site shall be no more than 10. Reason: The siting of more than 10 caravans (log cabins) would lead to an over intensification of the use of the site which could potentially have an adverse impact upon the wider character of the countryside and be contrary to Policies CP14 and CP24 of the Tonbridge and Malling Borough Core Strategy 2007, Policy DC5 of the Tonbridge and Malling Managing Development and the Environment Development Plan Document 2010 and paragraph 28 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2012. 3. (i) the caravans (log cabins) shall be occupied for holiday purposes only and no trade or business shall be carried on from the site; (ii) the caravans (log cabins) shall not be occupied as a person's sole, or main place of residence; (iii) the caravan site licence holder or his/her nominated person shall maintain an up-to-date register of the names of all owners/occupiers of individual caravans (log cabins) on the site, their arrival and departure dates and of their main home addresses, and shall make this information available at all reasonable times to the local planning authority. Reason: Having regard to Annex B of the Good Practice Guide on Planning for Tourism 2006 and to ensure that the caravans (log cabins) hereby approved are not used for permanent residential occupation which would constitute an inappropriate land use within the countryside and be contrary to Policy CP14 of the Tonbridge and Malling Borough Core Strategy 2007, Policy DC5 of the Tonbridge and Malling Managing Development and the Environment Development Plan Document 2010, paragraph 28 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2012. 8. The caravans (log cabins) hereby approved shall not exceed 13m in length and 4m in width and shall be externally finished to resemble a log cabin/chalet. Reason: To protect and enhance the appearance and character of the site and locality in accordance with Policy CP14 of the Tonbridge and Malling Borough Core Strategy 2007, Policy DC5 of the Tonbridge and Malling Managing Development and the Environment Development Plan Document 2010 and paragraph 28 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2012.
