APPLICANT Mr K Childs

AGENT  Urban & Rural Ltd

 

The Major Projects Officer introduced the report.  He reported that further comments from Ospringe Parish Council had been received which he read out for Members.  He also referred to pages 54 to 56 of the report, where the Parish Council comments were set-out in detail.  The Parish Council raised concern about the increased traffic from the site.  The Major Projects Officer referred Members to the detailed comments on highways/parking set-out on pages 65 to 66 of the report and said that Kent County Council (KCC) Highways and Transportation raised no objection. 

 

The Chairman moved the officer recommendation to approve the application, and this was seconded by Councillor Cameron Beart.

 

The Ward Member, also a member of the Planning Committee, spoke against the application.  He raised concern about the accumulative effect of traffic from the site and in particular large vehicles such as horse trailers and lorries which would have to negotiate rural lanes.  He said that access to the site was not suitable for this type of development.

 

Members considered the application and raised points which included:

 

·         Would be difficult to refuse on highway grounds as KCC Highways and Transportation raised no objection;

·         welcomed the provision of employment in a rural location;

·         National Highways had requested a Transport Assessment and the applicants had provided one; and

·         had some sympathy with local residents but the equestrian centre had already been approved.

 

Resolved:  That application 19/502484/FULL be approved subject to conditions (1) to (19) in the report.
