Issue - meetings

Demolition of an existing detached house and garage and the erection of a block of 8 no. single bedroomed flats with associated parking and amenity facilities at Dene Hall, 269 Malling Road, Snodland

RESOLVED:  That the application be REFUSED for the following reason:

(1)   The development by virtue of its height and lack of articulation would result in a building that would appear overbearing to the surrounding properties and incongruous to the general character of the street scene and the wider locality.  The development is, therefore, contrary to policies CP1 and CP24 of the Tonbridge and Malling Borough Core Strategy 2007, policy SQ1 of the Managing Development and the Environment – Development Plan Document 2010 and paragraphs 17, 56 and 60 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2012).

[Speakers:  Miss A Moloney – Snodland Town Council and Mr K Wise – agent]
