After careful consideration of the points raised by the speakers and the submitted details and conditions set out in the main and supplementary reports of the Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health, Members expressed significant concern in respect of the lack of assessment of potential impact of the proposed development on the surrounding listed buildings and non-designated heritage assets and the East Malling Conservation Area, with no regard having been given to the East Malling Village Conservation Area Appraisal in the report. 

 

In order for a report from the Conservation and Case Officer to be prepared to assist Members of the Committee in making an informed decision, a deferment was therefore proposed and subsequently agreed by Members to enable the matter to be reported back for consideration at a future meeting of the Committee.

 

RESOLVED:  That the planning application be DEFERRED to enable a Conservation and further Case Officer report to be prepared in order to assess the impact of the proposed development on the East Malling Conservation Area and surrounding listed buildings and non-designated heritage assets, with due regard to be given to the East Malling Village Conservation Area Appraisal.

 

[Speakers: Mr M Crowcroft, Ms F Reynolds, Mr J Colvile, Ms F Saunders, Mr J Allen, Mrs N Allen, Ms D Thomas, Mr M Page and Mr S Brett (members of the public) and Mr A Wilford (agent on behalf of the Applicant) addressed the Committee in person.]
