TM/04/02445/FL - 34 Maidstone Road, Borough Green |
RESOLVED: That the application be APPROVED subject to (1) the addition of resolution '2. In the event that an appropriate S106 agreement is not completed within six months of the date of this meeting Refuse Planning Permission for the following reasons:- 1. The development would be likely to create unacceptable additional hazards to traffic using the A25 by virtue of the increased possibility for the conflict between vehicles accessing the site and those using the car park within which the access is situated. Such conflicts could give rise to reversing manoeuvres onto the A25 or the stopping and queuing of vehicles on the A25. Accordingly, the proposals are contrary to the provision of Policy T19 of the KSP 1996. 2. The development would be likely to create unacceptable additional hazards to pedestrians by virtue of the increased possibility for conflict between vehicles accessing the new dwellings and the use of the access by pedestrians to access the adjacent recreation ground.' (Councillor Mrs Murray declared a prejudicial interest in the above application on the grounds of being a member of Borough Green Parish Council which owned the land providing access to the application site. She withdrew from the meeting during consideration of this application.) |

The proposal by reason of the nature of the proposed use and the proposed hours of operation would cause significant detriment to the amenities of the occupiers of neighbouring residential properties in terms of noise and general disturbance.

The LPA is not convinced that the proposed use can be satisfactorily accommodated in the building without introducing additional acoustic containment and that this is likely to harm the character of the building, either by disturbing the visual appearance of the very characteristic window design/pattern, or by introducing secondary glazing which would be harmful to the interior of the building.
