Following consideration by the Planning and Transportation Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Planning and Transportation resolved that
1) Historic Building Grant assistance for the replacement roof at 21 Manor Grove, Tonbridge be refused on the basis that it could set a precedent for applications for grants to repair many houses of similar age and aspect within the Conservation Area which the Council would be unable to meet from the budget available;
2) the question of Historic Building Grant assistance with repairs to the entrance porch and glazed lean-to at 9 Hadlow Road, Tonbridge be deferred to afford Members the opportunity to assess the appearance of the property to ensure an award could be justified in all the circumstances; and
3) the offering of Historic Building Grant assistance up to a maximum of £2,500 towards the cost of repairs to the Lock-up at Bow Road, Wateringbury be agreed in principle, subject to the Council's normal terms and conditions and to the Director of Planning and Transportation being satisfied that the repair proposals are appropriate in conservation terms.

Reasons: As set out in the report submitted to the Planning and Transportation Advisory Board of 27 February 2006 and indicated above in relation to each case.
