PROPOSAL: Retrospective application for the erection of a single storey side extension for garage.

It was proposed by Councillor Rusiecki, seconded by Councillor Coleman-Cooke and agreed that:

‘THAT the officer’s recommendation be adopted, namely:

That the application be APPROVED subject to the following conditions:

 1  The proposed development shall be carried out in accordance with the submitted application and the approved plans numbered: 771C/PL/101, 771C/PL/102, 771C/PL/103, 771C/PL/104 received by the Local Planning Authority on 9th June 2021.

GROUND:

To secure the proper development of the area.

2  The external materials and external finishes to be used in the garage hereby approved shall be of the same colour, finish and texture as those on the existing property. 

GROUND:

In the interests of visual amenity in accordance with Policy QD02 of the Thanet Local Plan.’

PROPOSAL: Erection of 2no. 2-storey 3-bed and 4no. 4-bed dwellings with associated parking and landscaping following demolition of existing buildings.

Mr Hare spoke in favour of the application.

It was proposed by  the Chair and seconded by the Vice-Chair:

‘that the officer’s recommendation be adopted, namely:

That the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

1  The proposed development, due to the lack of a footway link along this part of Haine Road which is partly unlit and subject to the national speed limit of the road, would result in conflict between pedestrians/cyclists and users of the highway, resulting in an unsustainable development due to future occupiers being dependant on private vehicles and an unacceptable impact on highway safety.  The development would, therefore, be contrary to policies SP43, QD01, QD02, TP02 and TP03 of the Thanet Local Plan and paragraphs 110, 111 and 112 of the National Planning Policy Framework.’

Upon being put to the vote, the motion was declared CARRIED.
