Minutes:

PROPOSAL: Erection of 4 no. 2 storey light industrial/general industrial (use class B1,  278 sqm and B2,  16,459 Sqm) commercial buildings with associated external storage (use Class B8, 185 sqm) with access, parking and landscaping

 

Mr Ryan spoke in favor of the application.

 

Councillor Pugh spoke as Ward Councillor.

 

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 proposal, by virtue of its location and design, would result in the loss of countryside and harm to the characteristics of the Manston Chalk Plateau Landscape Character Area, where the need for and the impact from development has not being demonstrated to outweigh the need to protect Thanet's landscape character and local distinctiveness,  with the visual harm resulting from the additional built form and associated development not sufficiently outweighed by economic, social or environmental benefits, contrary to Policies SP24, SP26, SE08 and E13 of the Thanet Local Plan 2020 and paragraph 174 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

 2  The proposal, by virtue of its location, would result in the irreversible loss of Grade 1 and 2 agricultural land, with the harm resulting from the loss not sufficiently outweighed by economic, social or environmental benefits or proven that there are no otherwise suitable sites of poorer agricultural quality that can accommodate the development, contrary to Policy E16 of the Thanet Local Plan 2020 and paragraph 174 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

 3  The proposed development, due to the lack of a footway link along this part of Manston Road subject to the national speed limit, would result in conflict between pedestrians/cyclists and users of the highway, resulting in an unsustainable development due to future users being dependant on private vehicles and an unacceptable impact on highway safety.  The development would, therefore, be contrary to policies SP43, SP44, TP02 and TP03 of the Local Plan and paragraph 110 of the National Planning Policy Framework. 

 

 4  The proposed development, by virtue of the location of the site and vehicular movements generated from the proposed uses, would increase the use of Spitfire junction as a junction over capacity and use of Vincent Road by HGVs, thereby affecting the free flow of traffic leading to congestion in peak hours and conflict between road users, resulting in severe harm to the transportation network and road user safety, contrary to paragraph 110 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

 

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

 

Councillor Hart  proposed, Councillor Rusiecki seconded that the application be APPROVED by virtue of the economic benefits of the proposal  outweighing the identified harm; subject to appropriate safeguarding conditions and the receipt of a legal agreement securing obligations and contributions toward off site highways work at Spitfire Junction and Vincent Road, and travel plan monitoring, within 6 months.

 

 

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