The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. (Z013) Reason: In pursuance of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. 2. All materials used externally shall match those of the existing building. (D002) Reason: To ensure that the development does not harm the character and appearance of the existing building or visual amenity of the locality. 3. The existing barn to the north of the bungalow shall be demolished prior to first occupation of the extensions hereby permitted, if not demolished previously, and all arisings therefrom shall be removed from the site. Reason: In the interests of amenity and openness of the Green Belt. 4. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (or any order amending, revoking and re-enacting that Order) no development shall be carried out within Classes A or E of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of that Order unless planning permission has been granted on an application relating thereto. (R001) Reason: To allow the Local Planning Authority to assess the impact of further development in the interests of amenity and openness of the Green Belt. RESOLVED: That application (B) be REFUSED for the following reason: 1. The outbuilding 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 relative to the host dwelling. The building is also materially larger, in terms of footprint and volume, than the building that it replaces on 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 DC2 of the emerging 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.
