PROPOSAL:  Retrospective application for the change of use of amenity land to residential garden and the erection of boundary fence

 

Speaking in favour of the application was Mr Blackman.

 

It was proposed by the Chairman and seconded by the Vice Chairman:

 

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

 

‘That the application be APPROVED subject to the following conditions:

 

1  The erection of the fence, by virtue of the prominent location, height, and materials, forms a dominant, incongruous and obtrusive form of development in the streetscene, diminishing the sense of place and local distinctiveness in the locality, severely detrimental to the character and appearance of the area and the Northdown Conservation Area, contrary to the aims of saved Policy D1 of the Thanet Local Plan, and paragraphs 127 and 130 of the National Planning Policy Framework’”

 

Further to debate, the motion was put to the vote and declared LOST.

 

Then, it was proposed by Councillor Scott and seconded by Councillor Albon that:

 

“The application be APPROVED as development would not harm the character and appearance of the Conservation area, subject to a condition for details of staining to be carried out to the fence to be submitted for approval to the Council.”

 

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