Issue - meetings

Change of use from C3 to D1 to provide classrooms and new staff facilities at 36 - 36A Dry Hill Park Road, Tonbridge.

RESOLVED:  That planning permission be REFUSED for the following reason:

(1)             The proposed change of use of the residential dwellings and their associated curtilages to a D1 use in connection with a school would result in unacceptable increase in the levels of noise and disturbance in close proximity to neighbouring residential properties, harming residential amenity contrary to paragraph 123 of the NPPF, Policies CP1 and CP24 of the Tonbridge and Malling Borough Core Strategy 2007 and Policy SQ1 of the Tonbridge and Malling Managing Development and the Environment Development Plan Document 2010.

[Speakers:  Mrs Lisa Gibbard, Mr Steven Johnston, Petra Sluka, Mr Ian Gibbard, Mrs Cheryl Farrar, Mrs Tessa Shepherd, Mr Mark Farrar and Mr David Mote – members of the public]
