Kent Design Guide |
The Director of Planning and Transportation presented the final published version of the new Kent Design Guide and recommended its adoption as a supplementary planning document in accordance with the Council's approved Local Development Scheme. He advised that the project team which had overseen the production of the Guide under the auspices of the Kent Planning Officers' Group would be running practical training programmes for local authority staff and private sector organisations. It was also intended to arrange events for Members later in the year to assist with the familiarity of the design guide and its application in the planning process. Members commended the quality of the document and made a number of detailed observations on its local application. RECOMMENDED: That the Kent Design Guide be adopted by the Council as a Supplementary Planning Document pursuant to 'saved' policy 4/11 of the Tonbridge and Malling Local Plan, with suitable adaptation to local circumstances. *Referred to Cabinet |
