Erection of 2 Dwellings
Comment: The Parish Council objects on the basis that it does not meet the HCA/Homes England space standards expected for new homes, is overdevelopment and does not meet the required architectural design standards for such a prominent, sensitive site in the conservation area.
TM/20/02488/FL
Land to the south of Teston Road
Construction of 5 stables with ancillary storage, parking, dug=ng and bedding area, outside training area also use of land for the keeping, breeding training and care of horses including their gazing for personal recreation
Comment: The Parish Council still has serious concerns re this application, as whilst the bulk of the site is not within our parish, despite a smaller area being within our remit, the effect on residents within our parish could be significant. The PC is very concerned as to any development or change of use in this area which could increase traffic generation and its extent in Ketridge Lane and If this application is granted, we would ask that conditions be applied to prevent any extension of highway restrictions in place and the extension of permitted activities on site (bearing in mind the previous withdrawn application) and to firmly regulate the timing of and activities on site permitted. We also would ask for conditions to control the waste generated by the use and that generated during construction and the timing of building contract operations.
